Xenopronoun

Xenopronouns are a type of hypothetical neopronouns that are not able to be understood by humans and/or expressed through human language.

History
It is unclear where the word itself was first coined, although it may be on Tumblr because of the amount of popularity that nounself sets gained, starting in 2015.

Definition
The word xenopronouns is often incorrectly used by people who actually mean neopronouns or subtypes of them like nounself pronouns. This incorrect use may be due to people who are xenogender using neopronouns, and mixing the words without realizing that xenopronouns are something else. Another reason for its incorrect use is that many people do not feel comfortable calling "unconventional" types of pronouns (such as nounself or emojiself pronouns) as neopronouns, which are thought of as being only "more conventional" pronouns such as xe/xem.

Theoretical examples of xenopronouns include


 * Pronouns that involve concepts that humans do not have words for.
 * Pronouns whose meanings cannot be translated into any human language.
 * Pronouns that include sounds that would be impossible for humans to make, if spoken.
 * Pronouns that include sounds that humans cannot hear, if spoken.
 * Pronouns that include movements that would be impossible for humans to do, if signed.
 * Pronouns expressed through a from of communication that humans cannot use.

Xenopronouns are exclusive to alterhumans and headmates who identify as (or just are) animals, aliens, robots, or other non-human creatures.

Misgendering
See main article: Misgendering"Because names and pronouns are the two ways people call and refer to others, they are personal and important. They are also key facets of our identity. Therefore, calling someone by the wrong name or “misgendering” them by using incorrect pronouns can feel disrespectful, harmful and even unsafe."

- Let’s Get It Right: Using Correct Pronouns and Names "According to the World Health Organization, violence is referred to as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation.” When someone intentionally misgenders a transgender person, it can be noted as psychological abuse. Misgendering is dehumanizing; when you purposefully disregard someone’s gender, simply because they are not like you, it can lead to mental and physical harm."

- Intentionally Misgendering Transgender People is Considered Violence Using the incorrect pronouns for someone when you are aware of their pronouns is misgendering. Misgendering is an act of erasure and transphobia, which has been linked to mental health struggles and suicide. The U.S. Transgender Survey states that 54% of those living with unsupportive families, where their family members may misgender them, had attempted suicide within their lifetime. 37% of those with supportive families had attempted suicide at some point of their lives.
