Preferred gender pronoun

Preferred gender pronouns (also called personal gender pronouns, often abbreviated as PGP^[1]) are the set of pronouns (in English, third-person pronouns) that an individual wants others to use to reflect that person's own gender identity. In English, when declaring one's chosen pronouns, a person will often state the subject and object pronouns (e.g., he/him, she/her, they/them), although sometimes, the possessive pronouns are also stated (e.g., she/her/hers, he/him/his, they/them/theirs). The pronouns chosen may include neopronouns such as ze and zir.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Preferred personal pronouns were recognized as the word of the year 2019 by the American Dialect Society.^[5]
