Gender-fluid pronouns are words that do not associate a gender with the individual who is being discussed. Unlike some other languages, English does not have a gender-neutral or third-gender pronoun available. This is why most people use “he/his” when referring to a generic individual in the third person. This is, by default, not inclusive of people identifying as women and using she/her pronouns. Furthermore, the “he” and “she” pronouns in English do not leave room for other gender identities, which is a source of frustration to the transgender and genderqueer communities. In the interest of greater equality and inclusion, many have started using gender-fluid pronouns. The most common gender-fluid pronoun in English is “they.” “They,” for example, is a third-person pronoun that is gender-neutral. Other gender-inclusive pronouns include “them," "their," "everyone" and "that person.” If you’re confused about which pronouns to use, ask people what they prefer or refer to them by their name.
