“””Alternative pronouns were only invented on Tumblr”””?

Gee, I had no idea Tumblr was around in 1858 when Charles Crozat Converse first thought up thon/thons/thonself… considering how much Tumblr has decayed over the years, I assume this site was fully functional back then

By the way Merriam-Webster even has an article about its existence, and it was included in their dictionary for around 30 years, dropped due to lack of use: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/third-person-gender-neutral-pronoun-thon

Bringing this post back because it’s been getting notes again and I find histories of alternative pronouns really interesting

There was also hiser around the time of thon, which I forgot about while making the original post!!!!! Not sure how to conjugate hiser but it was coined :0

I can’t find singular articles about hiser BUT!!!! It’s included in larger ones if you google for “hiser pronoun”! Larger articles state even more archaic alternative pronouns but I’m mentioning hiser specifically because again, it was coined around the time of thon
