Neopronouns

Pronouns other than she/her, he/him, or they/them. Common examples may include xe/xem, ze/zir, or fae/faer. Often a controversial subject, even among the LGBTQ+ community.

Neopronouns are perfectly valid and can help people express their gender identity if they feel that she, he, or they doesn't properly encompass it.
Person 1: I think I'd like to try using some neopronouns. Could you help me?
Person 2: Sure! What pronouns do you want to try?
Person 1: xe/xem and bun/buns, please
Person 2: Okay! My friend is trying out some new pronouns, and xe asked me to help xem try them out. I think bun's a bit nervous, but I'm happy to help if it'll help bun express bunself. How does that sound?
Person 1: I like it!
