I am starting a campaign. For over 30 years, we have struggled, contrived twisted methods of expression, and been in endless, pointless conversations to avoid sexism in our language. I have believed for a long time that the root cause is not sexism. The problem is the lack of a third person, singular, non-gendered, (but not neuter like "it"), personal pronoun in the English language. I've thought about making one up but nothing seems to sound right. He, she, e? Her, him, ? Her, his, ?
The best route may be to borrow from another language. Do you know of such a word(s)? Would you send this to someone who might?
