OOC: Pronouns

I'm always kind of testing how to tag with Jacinda-Jason. Aside from a slip-up (or two) where I used female pronouns -- one learns the coping method of identifying with the body and not the gender, and one sometimes cannot shake old habits -- I tried avoiding use of pronouns at all.
Then I tried avoiding pronouns until Jacinda flat-out stated "I'm Jason Todd" (or some equivalent), whereupon I would start using male pronouns, since Jacinda considers himself male despite the curse.
I'm testing out the use of gender neutral pronouns: ze and hir. We'll see how it goes. Gotta love the learning process.

EDIT: I keep slipping up and typing "her" instead of "hir". Further research into gender-neutral pronouns gave me this option --
subject: zie; object: zir; possessive adjective: zir; possessive pronoun: zirs; reflexive: zirself
and we'll see how things go with this. Jacinda is changing, in my head. Zie is less rigidly male than zie started out as.
