What is a pronoun?
Pronouns are some of the most useful words in the English language. They are used in the place of a noun to avoid it having to be named twice.
For example: Suzy threw the boomerang and it came back to her. In this sentence, "it" is a pronoun that represents the boomerang, and "her" is a pronoun that refers to Suzy. Without pronouns, we'd have to say Suzy threw the boomerang and the boomerang came back to Suzy. Without pronouns, how would we even say "we"?
Definition of Pronoun
In English, the part of speech used as a substitute for an antecedent noun that is clearly understood, and with which it agrees in person, number, and gender.
Pronouns are classified as personal (I, we, you, he, she, it, they), demonstrative (this, these, that, those), relative (who, which, that, as), indefinite (each, all, everyone, either, one, both, any, such, somebody), interrogative (who, which, what), reflexive (myself, herself), possessive (mine, yours, his, hers, theirs). There are also pronominal adjectives, sometimes called possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, our, their).
maybe Pronouns would be better ?
I keep a printed copy of this in my car, sometimes I will give it to confused people, hopefully they eventually appreciate my kindness.
I’ve never been asked my “pronoun preferences” but if I ever am, I have a response ready:
Me.
Me?
Yeah, as in “Get the **** away from me.”
Is all ya all on there?
My preferred pronouns are: I, Me, Mine (”all through the day - I Me Mine, I Me Mine, I Me Mine - all through the night...”)
Now many pronouns are harder to use than “person with gender dysphoria”.
The list is incomplete. Where are the bun/bunny pronouns?

Those who control the language, control society. I can tell you, I am self sensoring at work because of this forced control just so I can keep my job.
We have to find a way to reverse the trend of leftist control of seemingly everything...including language.
I increasingly notice that jobs ads which would probably otherwise say ‘only woke need apply’ instead make a pronouns field mandatory.
“I keep a printed copy of this in my car, sometimes I will give it to confused people, hopefully they eventually appreciate my kindness.”
LOL...I love it!
There are only 3 pronouns.
He
She
Insanity
LMAO! Stealing this one for future use :)
Chinese has one pronoun / word for literally everything from “It” to “he/she” whether its animal, vegetable or mineral.
For plural, they just add another character to indicate more than one.
Perhaps Chinese will dominate the new woke 21st century?
Gooble gobble, gooble gobble,
we accept you. we accept you.
Gooble gobble, gooble gobble,
one of us, one of us.
Here’s the real full list: Male. Female.
End of discussion.
Yes, that list hearkens back to the bad old days when knuckle-dragging racists and homophobes held sway and people were so stupid as to actually think that people are born either male or female. But enlightenment and truth has arrived to free us from those shackles. And now all we have to do is smile and make choices from the bountiful, new-found cornucopia of “gender” and pronoun labels.
While I really like my company, there are some very “woke” individuals in it. In our communications we have pronouns. I erased mine. You would not believe the backlash of astonishment for that little act. How could I not want to be identified?!?!? Unthinkable!!!
So I added a pronoun back. “Dude”. And again got backlash as it was considered mocking the system. I’ve decided to keep “Dude” as it’s irritating certain individuals that I don’t mind irritating.
A-hole
Gender neutral, everybody has one, it meets the criteria.
I’ll stick with the KJV for a pronoun style manual: THOU, THEE, THY, THINE, YE, YOU, YOUR, YOURS.
Those are on the list. :)
