Gender Neutral Pronouns

In lecture and discussion, the idea of gender pronouns has come up quite a bit. I searched the internet and came across this blog that discusses the idea.


What I found particularly interesting and hopeful was the comparison between the need for the creation of a gender neutral pronoun and the creation of the title Ms. Previously titles for women were only mrs. and miss so that a woman would be defined by whether she was married or not. Finally a more honorable title was created and now it is common nature to use. Hopefully the transition to gender neutral pronouns will be just as easy and quick.
