I'm someone who goes by Ze/Zir pronouns. I've done so for years. I originally went by they/them pronouns but I didn't like them much and they just don't feel right for me. When I discovered neopronouns they just felt right. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck getting people to refer to me by my preferred pronouns.

Even here on Lemmy lots of people still refer to me by they/them or worse she/her. It feels really bad. Does anyone else on here struggle with this?

Было бы здорово, если бы вы также указали, какие окончания использовать с вашими местоимениями в прошедшем времени и в прилагательных — «сделал», «сделала», «сделало», или двойную форму «сделал(а)»? Если у вас неологизм — есть ли для него отдельное окончание, или вы обычно берёте средний род?

(for English readers, I'm asking a question along the lines of asking OP to pick between

  • ze is blond
  • ze are blonde
  • ze is blondes
  • ze are blond
  • ze is blonds

etc. (assuming zir hairs are blond), but in a language with much more difficult conjugation: Russian. Do neopronouns require neoconjugations? if yes, plz provide)

    I'll ask my parents since they speak Russian and would know better but in general if the language has gendered conjugations or other gendered words that change based on the gender of the person they will require new ones at least to make the language gender neutral.
