    Neopronouns are not bullshit. But there does need to be some basis by which normal people can understand and utilize them.

    Language is not static, and if enough people adopt an alternative set of pronouns, congrats, it’s a thing.

      Genuine question. Since I don’t want to disrespect people, but don’t want to validate people mocking real life gender identities.

      What is a Neopronoun that isn’t a human being wanting to be something other than a human being?

      Are there any Neopronouns that involve staying as a human and living in reality?

        Most neopronouns are either gender-neutral or specifically NB, and do not make any claims on being other species. Xe/Xer is one of the most common ones - simply being a gender-neutral singular form of ‘He/Him’, ‘She/Her’, ‘They/Them’, etc.
