So I'm writing a novel that takes place 200 years in the future of a planet Earth that is no longer exactly planet Earth, it's morphed into something else. And as nonbinary as I am, for me the only thing that makes sense in this reality is that either there would be even more pronouns, or less. Full disclosure: I haven't had access to and therefore haven't read any queer sci-fi, so I don't know how this is usually handled, but writing just "she/he" and even "they" feels primitive.

The closest I've gotten to feeling like I'm doing something that makes sense is using mostly neopronouns depending on the culture, but I don't know if that would make it confusing for readers. I would love to know what the current conversation around this is.

To all the nonbinary writers out there,

You never know how many lives you're changing with your work. You might've changed one life, or thousands. Maybe you changed a life, who in turn changed millions.

Keep creating. It's worth it.
