yoursellfthemselves

yoursellfthemselves is a neologism that emerged in online discourse, particularly within communities focused on gender identity and non-binary pronouns. It is a portmanteau combining the possessive pronoun "yourself" with the reflexive pronoun "themselves." The term is generally used as a third-person singular reflexive pronoun, intended to be gender-neutral.

The creation of yoursellfthemselves reflects an effort to expand the existing range of pronouns available to individuals who do not identify within the traditional gender binary. While "themselves" is often used as a singular gender-neutral reflexive pronoun, some individuals find it either too plural in its historical association or prefer a more distinct option. Yoursellfthemselves aims to fill this perceived linguistic gap.

Usage of yoursellfthemselves is not widespread and is primarily found within specific online subcultures. Its adoption and acceptance vary significantly, and it is not recognized as a standard English word by major dictionaries or grammar authorities. As with many neologisms related to evolving language and identity, its future prevalence remains uncertain.
