Pour ne pas donner d’identité sexuelle à quelqu’un par un pronom masculin ou féminin, les anglophones disent “xe”, “zie” ou “they”. Ces pronoms n’ont pas leurs équivalents en français.
“She” égale “Elle”.
“He” égale “Il”.
Mais “Xe” n’égale rien du tout.
Je propose l’utilisation de “Xille”, que j’utilise déjà avec des amis. Bien sûr, je ne peux pas prétendre réformer la langue française… Mais il serait pratique de pouvoir utiliser au moins avec des amis un pronom “indéfini”.

Translation:
To not give a sexual identity to someone through a masculine or feminine pronoun, English speakers use “xe”, “zie” or “they”. These pronouns do not have French equivalents.
In French,
“She” is “Elle”
“He” is “Il”
But there is no French word for “Xe”.
I suggest using “xille”, which I already use with friends. Of course, I’m not changing the French language. But it would be practical to at least have an undefined pronoun to use with friends.
Spread the word.
Personally, I’m trilingual and I think this is very practical! I think “xille” is a good gender neutral pronoun for French.
I really like this! “Xille” sounds really nice as a French pronoun, and I’m sure that the ending can be modified to also be “xil,” depending on preference. (Since “lle” is a traditionally feminine suffix.)
I’m filing xille away now as a really nice, useful pronoun! Especially if I ever need a gender-neutral option while speaking French.
