Neopronouns are pronouns used for a person instead of he/she/they. The prefix neo- means "new." Some people take it to far and go by kitten/kittenself, etc. Some good neopronouns that don't insult majority of lgbtqia+ community are ze/zir, xe/xem.
Person A: Hey, my pronouns are he/they. What are yours?
Person B: Oh! I use neopronouns along with he/him. So my pronouns are xe/he.
Person C: Sorry to intrude but my pronouns are kitten/kittenself! Im catgender and dreamsexual also!!
Person B: That actually kind of offensive...
Person C: NO ITS NOT!! IM JUST AS VALID AND IM NOT HURTING ANYONE!!
Person A: Its not "cool" or "edgy" to identify as a cat and be dreamsexual. 1. dream has a gender, not a seperate gender. 2. you are a human. humans can be different genders but they arent a different species. 3. using those pronouns are offensive to people who use neopronouns and you make them look bad to others. 4. No one wanted you in this conversation.

created on 4chan as a joke, spread to reddit, retards took it seriously, now we have people that can’t understand simple gender and pronouns
person1: oh hey, is that x? i haven’t seen her in years!
person2: actually that’s frog, and dust goes by dust/dusts now!
person1: is they/them not great and genderless enough? what the fuck is a dust?
person2: well it’s a neopronoun. and you should respect it! dust feels connected to dust so dust decided dusts pronouns to be dust!
person1: dust cannot be a gendered pronoun. i’m leaving this situation before i commit suicide right in front of you to hopefully scar you from this situation
neopronouns and neogenders are genuinely harmful to the lgbt community. they make it seem like we’re a joke and a fandom that will be thrown away later. this is why old gays hate us.

neopronouns are pronouns that are not he/him, they/them, or she/her. these pronouns are often used by neurodivergent people to feel more confident in their relationship with gender, since neurodivergent people experience gender differently. neurotypicals can also use neopronouns, they are just more common amongst neurodivergent people.
person 1: “xe uses neopronouns because it makes xem feel more comfortable in their gender.”
person 2: “they don't make sense!”
person 1: “actually, they do, they can be used in the same way as he/him, she/her, and they/them! if you look up certain sets of neopronouns, they'll show you how they're used in a sentence!”
person 2: “wow! really? that's so cool!”
person 2: “they don't make sense!”

neopronouns are a set of (usually) gender neutral pronouns commonly used by trans or gnc individuals. pronouns are simply a set of words that are used in place of someone's name, and therefore do not have an inherently implied gender, just as someone's name does not inherently equal their gender. neopronouns are common and have been around for years, with the first known set of neopronouns thought to be created by Charles Crozat Converse in 1858 (thon/thons). furthermore, many other cultures and languages have had neopronouns for many years before that.
examples of neoprns:
ae/aer
doll/dollself
bun/bunself
fae/faer
vae/vaer
+ many more !
if you think neopronouns are not valid, well guess what? you're transphobic !

neopronouns are pretty much "custom pronouns"
they can be used by anyone of any gender.
Some general guidelines are: No slurs especially if you can't reclaim them, no social/political/human rights movements ex the "BLM" 'pronouns' only used by trolls, and just generally don't be an asshole.
Although people who use neopronouns are often transgender/nonbinary, There are cisgender people that use them too. Pronouns don't always equal gender and therefore you can be cis or trans and use neopronouns.
While neopronouns may be used by neurodivergent, usually autistic people or people with adhd, neurotypical people use them as well.
there are also neurodivergent (usually autistic people or people with adhd) and neurotypical people that find these pronouns confusing, and I'd like to mention how most neopronoun users have at least one set of 'regular' pronouns, so as long as you're not purposely misgendering people or just saying they're confusing because you're trying to be a dick, then you're fine.
if you don't like someone's neos then either ask for another set, or just don't interact with them.
If you'd like to try some out for yourself, a good site is pronoun dressing room.
If you're learning english/non native speaker, don't worry about these too much, you're unlikely to meet someone who uses neopronouns and most people who use neos also use a set of "normal" pronouns, like he/him, they/them, or she/her.

p1: sup i'm name and i use he/him, ros/roseself, lav/lavenderself as neopronouns.
p2: oh it's nice to meet you. i'm name and i use she/he. How would you use those neos? I've never seen/heard them before.
p1: well, you could look it up if you wanted, on pronoun dressing room. But Because im in the mood to, i'll give you an example!
"He was having fun. His paintings are really cool. He should be proud of himself."
"Ros was having fun. Rose's paintings are really cool. Ros should be proud of roseself."
p2: oh cool. It may take time to get used to, but for now I'll try, and i'll use the he/him pronouns until i get a hang of those pronouns.
p1: awesome! thanks.
then they continue talking about interests and or small talk

neopronouns are something 12 year old girls use to try and separate themselves from the rest of society. they're prolly into cosplaying, slit their wrists, and dont have a father.
person a: "my neopronouns are 👅/ 🦾 please respect them"
person a: "thats cor/corself homophobic"
smart person: "actually go outside"
person a: "thats cor/corself homophobic"
