===History===

Gender-neutral language has existed for hundreds of years. One of the first usages of gender neutral language in literature is in the 1386 novel of Geoffrey Chaucer's ''The Canterbury Tales'' and also in famous literary works such as Shakespeare's ''Hamlet'' in 1599. Jane Austen used they/them pronouns in her infamous novel, ''Pride and Prejudice''.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-49754930</ref> The first notable use of gender neutral pronouns came in 1911 by Fred S. Pond, an insurance broker. They grew in populart in January of 1912, when Ella Fagg Young - the first female superintendent of Chicago schools, proposed a new term that would end the awkwardness of speech. Her idea was "''he'er, his'er, and 'him'er''".<ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=SCqfDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT84&lpg=PT84#v=onepage&q&f=false</ref>

One of the largest arguments against gender neutral language is the role it plays in "proper grammar". The traditional gender agreement rule states that pronouns must agree with the nouns they stand for both in gender and in number. While ''everyone loves their mother'' is grammatically correct, using they/them in a singular context is considered gramatically incorrect.<ref>https://blog.oup.com/2010/08/gender-neutral-pronoun/</ref>

Gender-neutral pronouns are similar to binary pronouns (she/her, he/him) but are altered to individual preference. One might prefer the commonly used gender neutral pronouns they/them. In place of Mr. or Mrs./Ms., a gender-neutral title would be Mx.<ref>https://lgbt.foundation/who-we-help/trans-people/non-binary</ref> Mx was first recorded in April of 1977 in an edition of ''The Single Parent''.<ref>https://practicalandrogyny.com/2014/08/28/when-was-the-mx-gender-inclusive-title-created/</ref>
