Language for Intergender People

People who identify or present as intergender/non-binary/androgynes/genderqueer, i.e., as neither male nor female, often appreciate being referred to using gender-neutral language.

"Person" can be used instead of "man" or "woman", and "Mx" can be used instead of "Mr" or "Ms". "Sir" and "Ma'am" can be avoided.

As for gender-neutral pronouns, here is one set:

• sie (pronounced "see"): "Sie gave it to me".
• hir ("hear"): "I gave it to hir".
• hir ("hear"): "It is hir book".
• hirs ("hears"): "It is hirs".
• hirself ("hearself"): "Sie did it hirself".
