Anonymous asked: Sorry if you already gotten this question, but should you use zie/hir in your writing?

Should you? Well, I think that depends on whether or not you have a genderqueer character in your story. If the answer is yes and you would like to use the pronouns zie and hir in your writing, then I say go for it!
