yourtheir

"Yourtheir" is a neopronoun, a relatively new gender-neutral pronoun that has emerged in English. It is formed by combining "your" and "their," suggesting a sense of shared ownership or belonging. Like other neopronouns, "yourtheir" aims to provide an inclusive alternative to traditional gendered pronouns or the singular "they."

The use of "yourtheir" is typically seen within communities that actively explore and adopt non-binary or gender-fluid identities. Individuals who use "yourtheir" may do so because they feel it best represents their personal gender experience, which may not align with male or female categories. It can also be used by those who wish to be more inclusive in their language, offering an option beyond established binary or singular neutral pronouns.

The reception of "yourtheir," like many neopronouns, varies. Some find it a valuable tool for linguistic inclusivity and self-expression, while others may be unfamiliar with it or prefer to use existing pronouns. Its usage is primarily informal and found in online communities, personal writings, and among individuals who are part of the broader LGBTQ+ community. As with many evolving aspects of language, the adoption and acceptance of "yourtheir" may continue to change over time.
