In English, and many other languages, people are usually called by a pronoun that implies their gender. In English, "she" is most often used by women, and "he" most often used by men, singular "they" can be used by non-binary people. However that is not always the case, some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people are okay with being referred to with she/her or he/him pronouns, and some [[Binary Genders|binary]] people use [[Crosspronoun|"unexpected" pronouns]].[[File:Neopronouns.png|thumb|220x220px|A neopronoun user flag by ferns-garden.]]
Surveys show that they/them is the most popular neutral pronoun set used by non-binary people, however some prefer to use neopronouns, as an alternate gender neutral pronoun set.
==
Some regional dialects of English throughout history have/had gender neutral pronouns that aren't used in standard English. All of these pronouns have only been recorded in their nominative form. As far as linguists know there are no other forms of these words (possessive, reflexive, etc), although it's easy to make up more forms if desired.
