gender pronouns e/em/eir - ke ?

That's the sort of junk that Elon Musk uses to name his babies. 8-)

But seriously, what the eff do gender pronouns 'e' 'em' and 'eir' mean?

It means the person who insists we use these non words to refer to them is confused and drank too much cool aid.

All I can think of it's like saying 'them' or 'their' with the 'th' dropped almost to furhter ambiguise a person's gender non-identity. As if simply saying 'non-binary' isn't enough any more. I'm a 'she' so is 'e' a woman who's no longer identifying as (but still had body parts of from birth) a woman? Even god doesn't know the answer (proving god is not great and all-knowing).
@BritishFailedAesthetic Yeah, but the point is that there is no equivalent to gender dysphoria. So if a kid has the symptoms, parents should take it seriously.

I don't know if religious institutions have tax exempt status in the UK. I'm just saying that because they have it in America, they shouldn't be allowed to discriminate. Now, if they ever lose their tax exempt status, which I think they should, then they should be allowed to discriminate, as should any private business.
@BohemianBoo They are tax exempt and they have every right to be and to follow beliefs. If they choose like the people mentioned to make it a prosperity gospel type place they should pay tax.

We're still primates - more specifically a species of Great Ape.

Simply refer to it however you want. It is just a game to them.

Mine are Your Honor or His Excellency if they insist.

The English language has between 500,000 and 1,000,000 words based on the regional dialect. If, amongst that existing collection of words one can’t express themselves adequately, that’s a matter of education. If you want a gender neutral pronoun, that exists. Try “It”

@redredred Please refrain from injecting common sense into your posts.

Some people are marginalised by nature, or by their communities, others choose to marginalise themselves.
In either case there are limits to the accommodations that any community can afford to accommodate them.

A gender neutral singular pronoun would be very useful.
