Like, pretend that you're talking to a few friends who identify differently along the M/F continuum, and you want to ask them each something about each other. For example, with clear M/F identifiers, you might say, "What does she think about your mustache?"
Or whatever you come up with, but I can't get what this is without hearing it.

Okay, well zie/zir are, i believe, the most common pronouns. Zie was grooming zir moustache before the drag show.
I also have a poet friend who prefers "they". They include this information in their biography before sending it to be published for a performance.
