This is just something I was thinking about while browsing the flist, and I realized that I know about most, but not nearly all of you. So for future reference, please tell me:

Poll

According to my linguistics prof there will never be an official third gender neutral pronoun in English :( :( :( Sigh. I kinda feel dumb now, for always using she/her, but I'll make sure to remember you prefer ze/hir.

Yeah, I'm afraid your prof might be right. :( Binary gender is so deeply ingrained in our Western culture, it would take way more than the few genderfucked people to change that.

Also, don't feel dumb! I never officially announced it or anything, and like I told Chi above, I don't care so much if someone uses female pronouns when I know they are aware of my gender issues and use it as a word, and not as a box to put me in. Know what I mean?
