http://www.economist.com/blogs/johnson/2011/09/transgender-pronounsJUSTIN VIVIAN BOND is a New York cabaret artist. Born a man but long given to cross-dressing both on and off the stage, earlier this year v officially declared v's sex to be "trans" instead of male or female, added "Vivian" as a middle name, and adopted the pronoun "v", as v explains on v's website.
Wait a second, you say. Is The Economist really going to stoop to using arbitrary pronouns invented by gender-confused performers?
