'I Use Non-Binary Pronouns in Class'
The English language, of course, lacks a singular neutral pronoun for human beings. In referring to companies and organizations, one can use"it." For references to people in the third person plural,"they" is available.
In my view, fluidity, uncertainty, and rejection of a binary model are facts in the world, whether one approves or disapproves of the current gender identity landscape. For certain people, these issues are of paramount importance in their being authentic and happy in their lives. In the media coverage of the Nashville school shooting in March, the question of the appropriate pronoun for the shooter briefly came to light. Although the shooter was born female, that individual appeared to have identified as male in recent times.
I suggest universal adoption of a singular neutral pronoun:"tey." Other singular neutral pronouns have been floating around for years, such as"xe/xem" and"ze/zir," but they do not appear to have been widely adopted across society.
