ofher

Ofher is a term that has gained traction in online communities, particularly within certain subcultures and fandoms. Its usage is primarily as a pronoun, intended to be an alternative to established gendered pronouns like he, she, him, and her, as well as gender-neutral options like they/them. The core concept behind ofher is to provide a singular, gender-specific pronoun that is neither male nor female.

The origin of ofher is somewhat fluid, with its development often attributed to online discussions and the desire for greater linguistic inclusivity. Users who adopt ofher often do so to express a gender identity that falls outside the traditional binary or to create a more personalized and precise way of referring to themselves. The pronoun is typically used in conjunction with a corresponding object pronoun, "ofher," and possessive forms that are also being developed by users.

The acceptance and understanding of ofher vary significantly. While some individuals and communities have embraced it as a valid and useful pronoun, others may be unfamiliar with it or may not recognize it as a standard or widely adopted linguistic tool. As with many neopronouns, the continued evolution and usage of ofher will likely be shaped by the communities that employ it.
