Gender-free pronouns

Gender-free pronouns are terms used to refer to individuals without indicating a specific gender. They provide respectful language options for people who do not identify as male or female, or prefer not to specify their gender. Common examples include "they/them" (singular), "ze/hir," and "xe/xem." Using gender-free pronouns promotes inclusivity and recognizes diverse gender identities, helping create a respectful environment for everyone. These pronouns are used in place of traditional "he/him" or "she/her" when gender identity is unknown, non-binary, or preferred by the individual.
