Question on Spivak pronouns
Does anyone here use the pronouns “E, em, eir, emself “ ?
I usually see “I, they, them, their, themself” - is this more preferred ?
I identify as cis, so I do not want to use pronouns in my writing that may have connotations I’m not aware of. But as I’m trying to write more, I’d really prefer to take gender out of the conversation with a certain character.
Actually, all characters, I have weird deep-rooted anger at the concept of gender existing at all. I’m angry at the concept and at society and at the box I’m put in and that we have to talk about it at all and at the fact that I have the organs to become pregnant. But I’m not sure how to explain or express or write about it yet. Gender neutral pronouns seem like a good place to start.
I’d really appreciate any and all thoughts on this!! Thank you!!
