In contemporary society, discussions around gender identity and the use of preferred pronouns have gained significant traction. Some individuals firmly believe that gender isn't binary and that identities stretch beyond the traditional male-female schema. Not everyone shares this belief, yet there is pressure to accomadate this increasingly vocal perspective. Amid such diversity of opinion, adapting language use to avoid offense becomes a complex task.
Regrettably, the English language — particularly pronoun utilization — doesn't easily reconcile this conundrum. Pending broad acceptance of gender-neutral expressions, the risk exists: risking offense through unintentional misgendering or compromising personal convictions by employing incorrect gender pronouns. In light of these circumstances, an alternative solution presents itself: the complete avoidance of pronouns.
Fully exploiting the versatility of English expressions allows articulation without resorting to gender pronouns. This avoids conceivable offences either through misidentifying gender identities or by expressing what might be perceived as untruths about gender. This approach offers a neutral linguistic territory where diverse beliefs can coexist without imposed pronoun usage.
