henry,

I honest to god think this is a defect of the English language. There should be a singular gender neutral pronoun.

100beep,

I mean, we have "it" but that doesn't really work...

henry,

Lol yeah except that by very nature is dehumanizing (fun in certain situations hahahahaha average 196 bottom moment 🥺🥺🥺)

100beep,

Not exactly for everyday use.

NinjaFox,

It is it you're not a coward/s

AlexTheTurtle,

There shouldn't be any gendered pronouns at all. Many languages do just fine without them.

henry,

That's true. It does feel a little strange to have to refer to someone's gender any time you want to refer to them in a sentence. Although conversely for both cis and trans folk alike it's gender affirming for them. It just comes down to language though. It probably seems 100% fine to have genderless pronouns in languages that don't have them.

mounderfod,

It's especially strange when you consider that English is one of very few European languages to not have grammatical gender

henry,

English is a mismatched hodgepodge of a language.
