We need some new pronouns
We need a unisex pronoun for cases where the person could be either male or female. Right now I write "he/she". This comes up in discussions of literature. Say I am discussing the protagonist. That's a $5 word that means hero or heroine. Writing "he/she" seems sort of odd. For that matter I find myself writing "him/her" more often than is good. The new pronouns I want do not declare the person to be transgender, They just would be for use in cases where the person might be of either sex.

There are only 4 pronouns I use as I refuse to use the other eleventy-eleven of them. They are "He", "She", "It", and "A**hole".
