I can live with option 1. I prefer option 2. We are presuming (an educated and well-founded presumption) how our use of pronouns will be received throughout the world. Option 2 gives us and the world an opportunity to experience a partial implementation on efforts to be gender neutral, and we can monitor feedback and comments to help inform our future options and choices. Given that this is a document produced by COGA, my third preference is to defer to the judgement of the members of COGA, as this is their document.

A resource you can read if this is a new area for you is https://www.mypronouns.org/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.mypronouns.org/__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!O-_Em3oxBgak1XO5G4OYDoQXc2bs9__PepX5AcJaJznCmUgrhp_-0DIsLHdCz9XXtg$> We discussed the following options: 1. no change 2. add it in 1 or 2 places in the main persona 3. Tal like to be referred to (pronouns) as Tal/they/them/theirs 4. change the persona to remove gender diversity 5. use the pronouns as frequently as would be used naturally COGA had voted against 5 because of readability and translatability challenges and compromised with using the minimal pronouns in option 1. I have created a google document with all of the options at https://docs.google.com/document/d/18FabK-X1AgOMPqG2YydOrcyl1d89rHxbcfqso2du1vo/edit#<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/18FabK-X1AgOMPqG2YydOrcyl1d89rHxbcfqso2du1vo/edit*__;Iw!!GqivPVa7Brio!O-_Em3oxBgak1XO5G4OYDoQXc2bs9__PepX5AcJaJznCmUgrhp_-0DIsLHfr4AWw9g$> Please take a look and weigh in with your thoughts on how to proceed.
