Default Sweden introduces new gender neural pronoun

http://jezebel.com/sweden-introduces-new-gender-neutral-pronoun-makes-bei-472492079

/snip from the Jezebel article:

"But the ever-progressive nation of Sweden has introduced a new gender-neutral pronoun—hen (neither the masculine han nor the feminine hon)—into its official National Encyclopedia. It's a heartening step in broadening the concept of gender and giving institutional validation to those for whom gender is more complicated than the stiff old male/female dichotomy."
