Transphobes can’t take this from us. These are literally old English pronouns.

[video transcript:you’ve heard of neopronouns, but what about archeopronouns? These are the pronouns used in old English. As you can here, the third person pronouns are pretty different on all accounts, but let’s take a look at the neuter pronouns: hit [pronounced heet], hit, him [pronounced heem], and his [pronounced hees]. Hit was the old English precursor to it, also old English also has wit and gif, so it doesn’t feel as impersonal as it can. Let’s try using hit in modern English scentences! Hit is my friend. I saw hit yesterday. I borrowed his car. I gave him a car. These are pretty similar to the modern he/him pronouns, so they may not be for everyone, but these also feminine archeopronouns, so let’s hear them. Hēo is my friend. [pronounced heyo] I saw hī yesterday. [pronunced he] I borrowed hire car. [pronounced here-ay] I gave hire a hug. Transphobes cannot get me. I know too much about grammar. Feel free to ask me more questions! /end transcript.]
