The word xenopronouns is often incorrectly used by people who actually mean [[neopronouns]]. This incorrect use may be due to people 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 people 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 "it/its". |

The Tumblr user Mourningmogaicrew created a new version of the flag on or before May 23rd, 2021. It keeps the same colors as the original with the same meanings, but also adds black to represent not being human, white to represent the wide range of non-human identities, and purple to represent otherkin specifically. <ref>https://mourningmogaicrew.tumblr.com/post/651983436502925312/3-06-20-0-233519-xenopronoun</ref> |
