Preferred Gender Pronouns

In English, males are identified with the pronouns he/his/him and females are identified with she/hers/her. Without a singular gender neutral pronoun, the plural² gender neutral pronoun they has become an accepted word to take the place of his or her. Some grammarians still dislike the singular use of they and consider it incorrect in written or formal English. However, there is a growing need for a gender neutral singular pronoun for people who do not identify as male or female. In fact, some English universities now ask students to identify their PGP (preferred gender pronoun). Instead of choosing he or she, some students choose name only or even ze.
