Types of pronouns that are commonly used by neurodivergent people but can be used by anybody, including cisgender people. Some common examples are Xhey/Xhem/Xemself or Bee/Bees/Beeself. Most people are unsupportive of neopronouns claiming they're 'not real', when in reality they've been around for 200+ years, first used in the 1800's. But the reason people say they aren't valid is because alot of people on tiktiok the past 2-3 years have been making fun at it saying they use nor/mal/super/straight ''pronouns''. People who dont use the correct neopronouns for someone who is nerodivergent (e.x. someone with OCD,ADHD, tics, or autisim s,uch as myself) can be deemed abelist. If the person is not nerodivergent, the person can be deemed Transphobic, if the pronouns are something such as Xhey or Dew. Neopronouns are also commonly called Xenogenders. Examples of Xenogenders are Beegender, Puppygender, and Catgender.
4 people are at Person A's house, as the subject comes to preference to pronouns.
Person A: Hey, guys, I was wondering what you guy's preffered pronouns are?
Person B: I use neopronouns, i prefer Bee/Dew/Ze/Love!
Person C: I use bianary pronouns, She/They/He. I'm genderfluid!
Person D: i also use Neopronouns, i prefer Ze/Honey/Light/Mellow!
Person A: Person B and D, It'll be hard to grip your pronouns, but i'll try my hardest, because i understand as two people with ADHD and Autisim, it's hard for you to understand gender.
Person B+C: Thanks! That means alot!

Neopronouns are a form of pronouns; everyone has pronouns!! Neopronouns are often used by nonbinary folx as replacements for he/him, she/her, and they/them, if they feel that these typical pronouns are too confining or just not right for them.
Neopronouns are used more often in neurodivergent people than in neurotypicals, because of their different connections and experiences with societal constructs, like gender.
Because of the large amounts of neurodivergent people using neopronouns, if one (usually a cishet) were to disrespect neopronouns, that person could be rightfully deemed ableist. Failure to respect neopronouns is transphobic, too, and one cannot claim to support the trans community in its entirety if they exclude people that use neopronouns.
The first set of written neopronouns (thon/thonself) was coined by Charles Crozat Converse in 1858. You can see this in some dictionaries, like the online version of Merriam Webster. These were not the first neopronouns used; ne, hiser, e, ou, ip, se, hi, and le all came up around the same time, but are rarely (if ever) used nowadays.
Common neopronouns include:
It/its/itself
Ey/em/eir
Ze/hir/hirs
Xe/xyr/xem/xeirs
E/em
Fae/faer is said to be a set of neopronouns, but is cultural appropriation and shouldn't be used by most people, unless you're of Celtic descent.
Neopronouns can be more than those listed; many people nowadays with neopronouns use doll, bug, rat, cap'n, etc.

Example 1:
Did you see Rain today? Dolls shoes are SO COOL!! Rain's so much cooler than all of y'all, doll has so much swag. >:) Lowkey have a crush on doll.........
Example 2:
Jackass: "Did you see Taylor? I heard he wore a dress to the park yesterday..... so cringe."
Decent human being: "Hey, Taylor's pronouns are they and it; you know they're nonbinary. Neopronouns are not that hard to use, Kevin."
Jackass: "Anyone that uses pronouns is a sensitive little snowflake."
Decent human being: "You know *everyone* uses pronouns, Kevin? It's not that hard to respect them. Besides, it looked SO COOL in that dress!! They're so awesome, and you're genuinely missing out on *so much* by refusing to talk to them."

pronouns that aren't he, she, or they.
some examples include:
ze/zim
xe/xem
it/its
ae/aer
qui/quem
ni/neir
e/em
and plenty more! they're valid pronouns, they exist, and while they're "made up", all words in all languages are made up, so like, they/them, she/her, and he/him are also made up
they're most commonly used by non-binary people but also used by binary people (cis or trans)!

Neopronouns are a category of pronouns used to provide a better option of gender identity for people.
"hello, what are your pronouns?"
"hi, i use neopronouns and go by xe/xem/xyrs and rot/rots/rotself! thank you for asking."
"no problem :)"
xe went to the store to get some cookies.
rot left to get rotself a new phone.

Pronouns used instead of she/her, they/them, or he/him.
Examples include xe/xem, ae/aer, e/em,
and fae/faer, along with many others.
These pronouns are valid and so are those who use them. :)

E uses neopronouns. E likes eir pronouns and does not care what you think, because eir pronouns are for em to feel comfortable, not anyone else.

a less common type of pronouns that aren't she/her, he/him, or they/them. These are among it/its, xe/xem, one/oneself, doll/dollself.
ALL neopronouns are valid.
Those who MOCK the neopronoun community, ARE transphobic. Even if you are trans and mock neopronouns, it is STILL transphobia. Neopronouns are commonly used amongst neurodivergent people because we experience gender differently than neurotypicals. Neurotypicals can also use neopronouns, but it's more common in neurodivergency. It's ok to not know HOW to use neopronouns, but to mock them, refuse to learn how to, that is transphobia.

"I use neopronouns, xe/xem and bun/bunself"
"Really? How do you even use those?"
"Well if you're using xe/xem,, you replace he or she with xe. 'he/she went to the store' 'XE went to the store' and you replace his or her with xes 'his/her book is cool' 'XES book is cool', and him or her is replaced with xem. 'I like him/her.'
'I like XEM.' and for bun, replace he or she with bun 'BUN went to the store', his or her with buns 'BUNS book is cool', him or her with bun 'I like BUN'"
"Woah- that was a lot. Can we talk about it another time and just hang out now? Learning that might take time but I'm willing to-- wanna get ice cream?"
