### ***PRACTICE!***
|
||||
|
||||
- Deliberately think or speak about a specific person using the correct pronouns
|
||||
- Use practice passages such as [Alice in Wonderland Texts - Gender Neutral Pronoun Blog](https://genderneutralpronoun.wordpress.com/about/alice/){target="_blank" rel="external"}

|
||||
- Correcting others is actually great practice – it helps you be more aware of pronouns in speech
|
||||
- The key to success will be repetition and reinforcement
|
||||
- Mistakes are normal, and this *does* take effort

While I can't speak for all neopronoun users, here are some of my personal reasons for using ze/hir in addition to he/him:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Reflect my own gendered identity.** Personally, my experiences when others have used they/them for me have been negative. Especially early in transition and in times where I aligned more strongly with being a man, it often felt like a way for folks to avoid gendering me. Because of this, I still have a deep dislike towards being referred to with those pronouns. Ze/hir or other neopronouns reflect a strongly gendered nonbinary identity to me.
|
||||
1. **Connect with queer history.** My particular preference for ze/hir comes from [Leslie Feinberg's](https://www.lesliefeinberg.net/){target="_blank" rel="external"} use of these pronouns. I understand myself as in community with other queer/trans people and my pronoun usage reflects that.

|
||||
1. **Encourage learning, curiosity, and willingness to play.** I notice often that cisgender (non-trans) folks are so afraid of making mistakes that it hinders learning and growth. I want to encourage folks to try new things around me, and to be playful with language rather than afraid. I think our ability to adapt language to our needs is beautiful and powerful, and I want to encourage that.
|
||||
1. **Pave the way for more vulnerable queer people to express themselves.** As someone in a position of relative privilege, it is far easier for me to publicly use neopronouns than it may be for other queer/trans folks who find they align with neos. If someone has already seen me using neos, they are less likely to push back on the next person they see doing so - even if that means I am the one to deal with that pushback.
|
||||
1. **Be more visible as a trans person.** This ties back to (1). While some trans people prefer to fly under the radar so to speak and be read as a cis person of their gender, there is no cis version of "nonbinary". For me, being understood by others as a binary cis man feels stifling and incorrect. Neopronouns are one way to make my transness more visible as someone who is otherwise not always read as queer. And, as in (4), that visibility helps pave the way for others :\)
