There are some people in the trans community who use alternate gender neutral pronouns to describe themselves such as 'ze' and 'hir'.
While that may work fine for them it doesn't for the Phenomenal Transwoman. I'd be willing to bet more than a few of my transsistahs and transbrothas share my sentiments as well.

Just personal opinion.
gender neutral pronouns would be great and reduce some of dysphoria's impact however People are unlikely to change their usage of pronouns for a minor group of people in any short amount of time.

Calling a transwoman by gender neutral pronouns is dissrespectful. Period.
