Gender Pronouns

I had been searching off and on for quite some time for a non-gendered 3rd person pronoun that wasnt "it." I needed this for describing a certain aspect of self as well as when referring to some spiritual/reality states and guides.
Today, I came across "she'he" [pron: sheh'HEE] thanks to another who was speaking of a transvestite in this way.


Come to think of it, her/him statements would probably have to be something like "her'him" as well...


She looked out at the scene.
She'he looked out at the scene. perfect.


It was not all the same to him.
It was not all the same to ...she'him? ...her'im? ...her'he? unclear.


I was wondering, does anyone else have a way of describing the gender-free, the multi-gendered, and the other-gendered?

There's lots of different genderless pronoun sets for English, none of them accepted by the dictionaries yet (to my knowledge). The only accepted English genderless sets of pronouns are It and They.

Spivak is a proposed set of genderless pronouns that works like the genderless use of They, but removes the TH from each word.

And it appears, according to the Wikipedia entry, that if the possessive is "hir," then the other one is "sie."
