Respecting neopronouns may lower your dementia risk
This makes perfect sense if you think about it; I have to read text with neopronouns very slowly because it's a challenge to comprehend after having been taught traditional pronouns in school many moons ago.
(e.g., Under the old rules, "they" was usually a reference to more than one person.)
Singular "they" has been used since the 1600s at least. Neopronouns are like xim and xer. Which I have never seen anyone use in the wild, honestly. And I'm in the QUILTBAG as well.
I've seen e/eir/ey used in old scifi stories from the aughts.
I guess that doesn't really count as "in the wild" though.
Singular "they" has been used since the 1600s at least.
Which is why I said it's usually a reference to more than one person.

Even though it isn't a neopronoun, for the most part the same applies to "Latinx".
It's common for neopronoun users to not use them "in the wild" because they expect to be disrespected. Often they'll have a set of standard pronouns that they use normally and only pse neopronouns in spaces they know to be affirming
