Hir influential pamphlet, reproduced below, took an older (and apolitical) term — transgender — and infused it with a radical new meaning. (p. 205)@Though hir particular theory of history has not attracted widespread support in transgender communities, hir work has gained a devoted and grateful following for the powerful way it calls upon transgender people to recover their historical legacy, and to harness that knowledge to the current struggle for a more just society.

A Gourmet Guide to Typesetting with the AMS-TeX Macro Package The quotes are from the 2nd edition (2004 reprint), the original was published in 1982 2004 Just as ‘I’ is the first person singular pronoun, regardless of gender, so ‘E’ will be used in this book as the third person singular pronoun for both genders. Thus, ‘E’ is the singular of ‘they’. Accordingly, ‘Eir’ (pronounced to rhyme with ‘their’) will be the possessive, and ‘Em’ (rhyming with ‘them’) will stand for either ‘him’ or ‘her’. Here is an example that illustrates all three forms: E loves Em only for Eir body. (p. xv)@If a book designer wanted to use underlining extensively, E would have to design a special ‘\ul’ font in which each letter has an underline as part of it; of course, the letters g, j, p, q and y would be one of Eir design problems. (p. 18)@If the author uses such notation, it should be up to Em to indicate Eir intentions clearly, but there’s no harm checking first. (p. 63) 1) Note the capitalization of the pronoun. 2) Spivak doesn't provide a reflexive form. 01EP5KZNBCCAD2024012HFMCR3 +womanOn Book Marge Piercy Woman on the Edge of Time 1976 I’ve read of this and seen a drama too about a person who sold per body to feed per family!@Barbarossa dyes per beard, in truth.
