Mirrorproniminal, also known as mirrorpronoun, is a subset of mutopronominal in which one identifies with the pronouns of the person referring to them. Someone who is mirrorpronominal has different pronoun sets for each person. For example, a hypothetical mirrorpronominal person is X, another person is Y, and another person is Z:
- 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).
Mirrorpronominal people 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 ze/hir as hir base pronoun set:
- Y can refer to hir with both ze/hir and she/her pronouns (and nothing else).
- Z can refer to hir with both ze/hir and he/they pronouns (and nothing else).
