I've only seen these terms online, so I was also wondering if anyone uses them irl/how to pronounce them if so.

Thanks!

hey ardentfemme. Great question. I will chime in on what they mean to me....hy is pronounced same as "he" as is hys..same as hys...and hyr same as her. I use them spelled that way as I am a woman identified butch, masculine of center. I don't want typical male pronouns to refer to myself. I am female but identify MOC (masculine of center) which is in no way meaning "male" to me.'

For me, it is a female version/spelling of my own identity and pronouns. I also prefer boi meaning boy and pronounced exactly like boy. I have also seen her spelled "hir" I am uncertain as to origin of any of these.....so hope I at least c larified some of it for you...

Have a great weekend....clay
