The crosspronominal flag by Tumblr user beyond-mogai-pride-flags
Crosspronominal, previously known as transpronominal, is the use of atypical pronoun sets, that do not align with or are uncommon for ones gender identity. However, it is important to remember that pronouns do not equal gender and one does not have to identify as crosspronominal if they use atypical pronouns.
It is a form of gender non-conformity. Examples include:
- binary women using any pronoun(s) other than she
- binary men using any pronoun(s) other than he
- non-binary people using she or he. (Non-binary people who use he/him or she/her may also identify as difpronominal).
