Re: [Gendergap] Calling all neutral user names She?
Feel free. I'm going to continue to use they, which usually fits without violating gender grammar too much. I use they when referring to the third person of a gender-unknown someone I'm not expecting to join the conversation and s/he when I am (possibly as a prod to clarification on said person's part). I don't think xe, which some people have tried to use, really works ... people often think that it was a typo, and the first time I saw it at the head of a sentence I scratched my head and wondered what xenon had to do with any of this.

Re: [Gendergap] Calling all neutral user names She?
I used to use they, but with all these she's lately, and some editors calling her he, I thought... why not. Someone mentioned privately http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_pronoun#Modern_solutions So options is best way to go, and let nature take its course as what seems most appropriate or the mood I'm in... ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
