What are female pronouns?
She/her/hers and he/him/his are a few commonly used pronouns. Some people call these “female/feminine” and “male/masculine” pronouns, but many avoid these labels because not everyone who uses he feels like a “male” or “masculine.” There are also lots of gender-neutral pronouns in use.
What does he him mean?
