You are likely familiar with the chart below that lists the personal pronouns by case.
However, some of those, particularly she/her and he/his, are traditionally associated as being either masculine or feminine. For that reason, gender neutral pronouns have been widely adapted. Here are some examples:
Gender Neutral Pronouns
SHE | HER | HER | HERS | HERSELF |
HE | HIM | HIS | HIS | HIMSELF |
zie | zim | zir | zis | zieself |
sie | sie | hir | hirs | hirself |
ey | em | eir | eirs | eirself |
ve | ver | vis | vers | verself |
tey | ter | tem | ters | terself |
e | em | eir | eirs | emself |
