minus-squareipkpjersi@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoIt’s a great neutral pronoun, but it can sound like you are referring to multiple people depending on how you use it.
minus-squareGork@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYeah we need a dedicated genderless singular third-person pronoun. The only thing that comes to mind is “it” but that tends to dehumanize people.
