The word xenopronouns is often incorrectly used by individuals who actually mean [[neopronouns]]. This incorrect use may be due to individuals who are [[xenogender]] using neopronouns, and mixing the words without realizing that xenopronouns are something else. Another reason for its incorrect use is that many individuals do not feel comfortable calling "unconventional" types of pronouns (such as [[Nounself Pronouns|nounself]] or [[Emojiself Pronouns|emojiself]] pronouns) as neopronouns, which are thought of as being only "more conventional" pronouns such as xe/xem. |
