'''Mirrorpronominal''', also known as '''mirrorpronoun''', is a subset of [[Mutopronoun|mutopronominal]] in which one identifies with the pronouns of the one referring to them. Someone who is mirrorpronominal has different pronoun sets for each individual. For example, a hypothetical mirrorpronominal individual is X, another individual is Y, and another individual is Z: |

'''Mirrored pronouns''', or '''mirrorpronomial''', refers to someone who identifies with the pronouns of the individual referring to them. It is under [[Mutopronoun|mutopronominal]]. Someone with mirrored pronouns has different pronoun sets for each individual. Those with mirrored pronouns may strictly use them, or they may use other types of pronouns alongside mirrored pronouns. |
|||
When it comes to people who have multiple pronoun sets, others use whichever pronouns they're currently using for themselves by default, unless it is specified to do otherwise. However, there are subsets of mirrored pronouns that help distinguish this experience. '''Clear mirroring''' refers to those that use whatever pronouns the person is using for themself currently, and '''foggy mirroring''' refers to those who are fine with others using any of their pronouns. |

* Y identifies with she/her pronouns, so X identifies with she/her pronouns in the context of Y referring to them; Y can refer to X with she/her pronouns (and nothing else). |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
* Z identifies with he/they pronouns, so X identifies with he/they pronouns in the context of Z referring to them; Z can refer to X with he/they pronouns (and nothing else). |
|||
Mirrored pronouns can be shortened to "mir." or "mp." in someone's display name or bio. Foggy mirroring would be "fmir." or "fmp." and clear mirroring would be written as "cmir." or "cmp." Periods after the text can help distinguish that it's not a pronoun and is instead a shortening of "mirrored pronouns." Alternatively, a mirror emoji may be used to distinguish someone who uses mirrored pronouns. |

Mirrorpronominal folkel may be strictly mirrorpronominal, or they may also identify with a base pronoun set that anyone (or almost anyone) can refer to them with. For example, if X has [[Neopronouns|ze/hir]] as hir base pronoun set: |

The original, green and pink mirrorpronominal flag has unknown meanings and origins. An alternate, red and cyan flag exists. The opposite colors of red and cyan represent the diversity of the pronouns, them being on opposite sides represents the "mirroring" of using others' pronouns, the white represents being connected to others' pronouns and the base pronoun sets some may use, and the left and right being flipped also represents the "mirroring." A version of this flag without the two flipped sides is also available for those who prefer it. |

Mirrored pronouns, or mirrorpronomial, refers to someone who identifies with the pronouns of the individual referring to them. It is under mutopronominal. Someone with mirrored pronouns has different pronoun sets for each individual. Those with mirrored pronouns may strictly use them, or they may use other types of pronouns alongside mirrored pronouns.
When it comes to people who have multiple pronoun sets, others use whichever pronouns they're currently using for themselves by default, unless it is specified to do otherwise. However, there are subsets of mirrored pronouns that help distinguish this experience. Clear mirroring refers to those that use whatever pronouns the person is using for themself currently, and foggy mirroring refers to those who are fine with others using any of their pronouns.
Mirrored pronouns can be shortened to "mir." or "mp." in someone's display name or bio. Foggy mirroring would be "fmir." or "fmp." and clear mirroring would be written as "cmir." or "cmp." Periods after the text can help distinguish that it's not a pronoun and is instead a shortening of "mirrored pronouns." Alternatively, a mirror emoji may be used to distinguish someone who uses mirrored pronouns.
