Despite the slew of misinformation going around TikTok right now, xenopronouns are actually type of hypothetical neopronouns that are not able to be understood by humans and/or expressed through human language. Theoretical examples of xenopronouns include
- Pronouns that involve concepts that humans do not have words for.
- Pronouns whose meanings cannot be translated into any human language.
- Pronouns that include sounds that would be impossible for humans to make, if spoken.
If you looked this up looking for cat/catself or star/stars, those are actually examples of neopronouns, and have been since they were introduced.
I think xenopronouns are really cool. My headmate uses xenopronouns that sound like a cawing hawk!
