prettygirlsinmytardis:

“Swedes are shaking up their language with a new gender-neutral pronoun. The pronoun, “hen,” allows speakers and writers to refer to a person without including reference to a person’s gender. This month, the pronoun made a big leap toward mainstream usage when it was added to the country’s National Encyclopedia.”

This is fantastic.

      I use this word like when I don’t know what gender someone have. I use it on other ways too but this was a example.
