Hi I was wanting to know what kind of gender pronoun i could use i know its kinda redundent seeing how i am intergendered but I still would like to know what could i use?

Does anyone have any ideas?

If you mean the gender pronoun to use to those being androgynous, intergendered, ect. It's usually like "sie" instead of he or she. Or "hir" instead of him, his or her. I don't know too much about it..hopefully someone can tell you more

You got me buffaloed. Where once I thought I knew, I've become to not be so certain.

sie and hir seem to be the most common however there are many alternatives. I prefer zie, since it's first letter of my name  ;D

from Wikipedia
"Since at least the 15th century 'they', 'them' and 'their' have been used, in an increasingly more accepted fashion, as singular pronouns. This is called the singular 'they'." I personally like the singular they, however most people look at me like I'm from another planet when I use it. Actually, people often look at me like I'm from another planet :laugh:

I like using they and their, at least theses are ones people have heard of.

But these days I seem to be happy with her and she.

well, i assume most people are him and her, and am never in a room when people describe me in the third person to be too bothered.

One of my best friends considers emself to be "bi-gendered" and prefers the pronoun ey.
Ey bends like They, you just drop the "th", making it easy to know how it fits in a sentence.

I love em, ey are one of the most intelligent people I know. Eir theories and thoughtprocesses are sometimes enough to break my mind!

Those are the most sensible genderless pronouns I've heard. My tiny brain can connect with them easily.
