Ze/Hir

Ze and hir are gender-neutral pronouns used by some individuals who prefer not to use traditional "he" or "she." "Ze" replaces "he" or "she," and "hir" (pronounced like "here") replaces "him" or "her." For example, instead of saying "He went to the store," someone might say "Ze went to the store." Using these pronouns respects a person's gender identity, especially when they don't identify strictly as male or female. They help create inclusive language and acknowledge diverse gender experiences.
