(p. 95)@Science and technology seemed to have given ver everything ve could ask for (p. 194)@Kuwale hesitated and cast vis eyes down. (p. 195)@I could hear ver breathing slowly, trying to calm verself (p. 227) | The pronouns are used with reference to “asex” characters (it's a sci-fi novel in which some people rid themselves of sex characteristics and sexuality as a, sort of, political/philosophical manifesto) and generically (instead of, e.g. singular “they”). | 01EP5KZNBCCAD2024012HFMCR3 | ||
| 3 | differentlyAnimated | Book | K. A. ^Cook | The Differently Animated and Queer Society | A short story from a collection called “Crooked Words” by K. A. Cook | 2013 | Pat couldn’t help a slight frown as ze got out of hir car. It wasn’t likely that someone was going to try and mug a zombie, but even so, the neighbourhood didn’t seem all that prosperous. There weren’t even too many cars around, just one down the other end of the street and a rusty bike chained to a light post.|Maybe ze shouldn’t have waited until ze’d be the last to arrive. What if everyone had come, decided that nobody was coming, and gone home already? What if ze was the only one to come at all?@This will be fine, Pat told hirself, in what felt like a ridiculous attempt to bolster hir courage. If ze had summoned up the courage for hir last job interview—and Pat thought ze would have gotten it despite being undead if ze felt remotely inclined to try and pass, something that annoyed hir job seeker support officer no end—then ze could summon up the courage to do this. This should be easier than a job interview! | 01EP5KZNBCCAD2024012HFMCR3 | ||
| 4 | prefaceTo | Book | Susan ^Stryker, Stephen Whittle | Preface to a reprint of Leslie Feinberg's pamphlet in “The Transgender Studies Reader” | 2006 | Leslie Feinberg, whose particular style of being transgender helped non-gender-specific pronouns like “s/he” and “hir” achieve a limited popularity over the past decade, must be considered a founding f gure of contemporary transgender studies. Hir influential pamphlet, reproduced below, took an older (and apolitical) term — transgender — and infused it with a radical new meaning. (p. 205)@Though hir particular theory of history has not attracted widespread support in transgender communities, hir work has gained a devoted and grateful following for the powerful way it calls upon transgender people to recover their historical legacy, and to harness that knowledge to the current struggle for a more just society.

R. ^Hord | Bucking the Linguistic Binary: Gender Neutral Language in English, Swedish, French, and German | Proceedings of Western Interdisciplinary Student Symposium on Language Research, Iss. 1, Vol. 3 | 2016 | Speaking from hir unique gender position, Feinberg highlighted what ze called a “crisis of language” (Owen 1996) which often results in clumsy dual constructions such as s/he, and which would be solved by abandoning binary language altogether in favour of specific language to suit complex gender identities.

| 10 | theJoy | Book | Michael D. ^Spivak | The Joy of TeX. A Gourmet Guide to Typesetting with the AMS-TeX Macro Package | The quotes are from the 2nd edition (2004 reprint), the original was published in 1982 | 2004 | Just as ‘I’ is the first person singular pronoun, regardless of gender, so ‘E’ will be used in this book as the third person singular pronoun for both genders. Thus, ‘E’ is the singular of ‘they’. Accordingly, ‘Eir’ (pronounced to rhyme with ‘their’) will be the possessive, and ‘Em’ (rhyming with ‘them’) will stand for either ‘him’ or ‘her’. Here is an example that illustrates all three forms: E loves Em only for Eir body. (p. xv)@If a book designer wanted to use underlining extensively, E would have to design a special ‘\ul’ font in which each letter has an underline as part of it; of course, the letters g, j, p, q and y would be one of Eir design problems. (p. 18)@If the author uses such notation, it should be up to Em to indicate Eir intentions clearly, but there’s no harm checking first. (p. 63) | 1) Note the capitalization of the pronoun. 2) Spivak doesn't provide a reflexive form. | 01EP5KZNBCCAD2024012HFMCR3 | |

| 12 | steelBreeze | Book | Alastair ^Reynolds | On The Steel Breeze | 2013 | Travertine’s a pretty divisive figure. Ve’s a friend of mine – or was, I suppose. When ve was last in trouble, I was one of those who pushed for a lighter punishment. The issue split the assembly – Sou-Chun was among those who felt we needed to make a clearer example of ver, if only to keep the rest of the local caravan happy.@You spoke to Travertine yesterday, when ve came to your house. How would you describe vis state of mind?@So Travertine had set verself on this path, constantly testing Assembly authority, chafing against restrictions, pushing vis luck. After the last censure, ve had done well to avoid imprisonment. But Travertine always rebuilt and pushed further. And Chiku had to agree with ver here – the Assembly always knew what Travertine was up to and chose not to intervene. Because on some unspoken level they wanted ver to succeed. | 01EP5KZNBCCAD2024012HFMCR3 | |||
| 13 | cageZeus | Book | Sayuri ^Ueda | The Cage of Zeus | Translated from Japanese by Takami Nieda | 2011 | The figure that stood before him was in eir early thirties with spindly arms and legs and slight features. Eir silken hair, cut evenly at the chin, shone as it moved. Although difficult to guess eir ethnic origin and not exactly beautiful, ey had strangely magnetic eyes. “My name is Tei,” ey said.@One of the Rounds, panic-stricken at the thought of being hit, began to run, pushing and shoving the others around em.@But Fortia twisted free from his grasp and threw emself against the terminal. | Takami Nieda refers to Spivak pronouns in the Translator's Note, although the Elverson pronouns are actually used. | 01EP5KZNBCCAD2024012HFMCR3 | |

| 17 | ancillaryJustice | Book | Ann Leckie | Ancillary Justice | 2013 | She was probably male, to judge from the angular mazelike patterns quilting her shirt. I wasn’t entirely certain. It wouldn’t have mattered, if I had been in Radch space. Radchaai don’t care much about gender, and the language they speak—my own first language—doesn’t mark gender in any way. This language we were speaking now did, and I could make trouble for myself if I used the wrong forms. It didn’t help that cues meant to distinguish gender changed from place to place, sometimes radically, and rarely made much sense to me. | 01ENZG70VP5AZ3971D93MF4M14 | |||
| 18 | leftHand | Book | Ursula K. Le Guin | The Left Hand of Darkness | 1969 | He was so feminine in looks and manner that I once asked him how many children he had. He looked glum. He had never borne any. He had, however, sired four. It was one of the little jolts I was always getting. Cultural shock was nothing much compared to the biological shock I suffered as a human male among human beings who were, five-sixths of the time, hermaphroditic neuters.@Seven years we were kemmerings, and had two sons. Being of his flesh born they had his name Foreth rem ir Osboth, and were reared in that Clanhearth. Three years ago he had gone to Orgny Fastness and he wore now the gold chain of a Celibate of the Foretellers. We had not seen each other those three years, yet seeing his face in the twilight under the arch of stone I felt the old habit of our love as if it had been broken yesterday, and knew the faithfulness in him that had sent him to share my ruin. And feeling that unavailing bond close on me anew, I was angry; for Ashe’s love had always forced me to act against my heart. | 01ENZG70VP5AZ3971D93MF4M14 | |||
