Crosspronominal, also known as alterpronominal and previously transpronominal, is the phenomenon of using atypical pronoun sets- pronouns that do not align with or are uncommon for one's gender identity. It is a form of gender non-conformity and falls under the umbrella of pronoun non-conforming. Examples include binary women using any pronoun(s) other than she, binary men using any pronoun(s) other than he, and non-binary people using she or he. Non-binary people who use he/him or she/her may also identify as difpronominal.
