Exipronouns, archpronouns, paleopronouns or trad pronouns is a term to refer to the “standard” naturally/traditionally existing pronoun sets of a language. They are the opposite of neopronouns. In English exipronouns are he/him, she/her, and they/them, as well as it/its (though some people may consider "it" be a neopronoun, since it's not standard usage when referring to a person).

The flag was created on July 2, 2020 by a Tumblr user who wishes to remain anonymous.
