I would advise 'xe'. It's an either-way pronoun I learned from springhole.net. Instead of she/her/hers or he/him/his or even they/them/theirs, it's xe/xir/xir. I love it.

You shouldn't do that.
I remember when you referred to me as such, albeit in a joking manner. I didn't like it.

But now you know, so it's okay.

No; she/he is xe, and his/hers/him/her is all xir.

Just pick one ;-;

When you type a response, you can hit the button "font colour" to change it, you'll get a menu with all the colours, click on it, and the code will be there for you.

No, "xe" is both "he/she". That's the entire point. "xir/xir" are the objective forms.

I just learned how to use they. Anything beyond he, she, them, I usually don't ever consider learning.

I got mixed up for a second there, too. Xe is he/her, xir is his/hers/him/her. Still, those who identify as they seem content with they; that's all that matters.
