Pronouns
I'm sure some people on here have noticed that pronouns and other terms are lacking for nonbinary people. They/them is pretty good, but it is met with criticism often. I realize that no matter what, nonbinary pronouns will be met with resistance. I think that there aren't enough words in the english language for us nonbinary peeps. Requirements: a name for a parent (like mom or dad), a pronoun and its forms (he/him/his/she/her/hers), an official term (like sir or ma'am) and a term for general people (like miss or mister). Sorry for the long description, but I look forward to seeing your entries! I'll post one so you can see what I mean.

Small Contribution

Just to add a few more to the list:

Wiin: Ojibwe. He/she him/her.

Wiya: Cree. Broad 3rd person term that can refer to people of either gender, animals, or objects. I thought this was an interesting one because it is so different from the way we catergorize things.

Two-Spirit: Is the general aboriginal term for a person with both a masculine and feminine spirit. Called “winkt” in Lakota.
