What are the pronouns for these nouns?

Question

John

school

car

Sharon

Kim & Jacob

Answer 1

It used to be

John he/him

school or car, it

Sharon she/her

Kim& Jacob they/them

but with political correctness and transgender rights many schools want gender neutral pronouns, or self identified genders with corresponding pronouns. the Finnish and Filipino languages, Soumi and Tagalog have gender neutral pronouns. One way they do this in English seems to be to use the plural, they or them, which avoids gender, even when referring to just a single person.

This hasn't completely caught on, and even Democrat candidate Elizabeth Warren seemed to be critical of the idea, as not an issue worth considering, given other issues she believed more important.

He or She is for the subject. Him or Her is the object.

As in he or she did something. But you give him or her something

First person and second person pronouns avoid gender, as in I or me, we or us, or you (singular or plural)

Answer 2

To put it more simply and without politicizing grammar, the singular they/them is now widely accepted. It was Merriam-Webster’s word of the year for 2019 and was included in the Oxford English Dictionary as well. It would come in especially handy for a name like Kim, which can be used for either of the binary genders.
