About a year or two ago I coined a half-serious new pronoun for those whose gender changes frequently: qe, qer, qers. (Q for "quantum gender"). It's generally pronounced as "ke, ker, kers" and that's close enough for jazz. Mostly this pronoun has been deployed in Taps-like settings, but sometimes Postvixen and I assign it to people in RL whose gender wave function we aren't able to collapse by observation. :) However, this pronoun won't be of much real-world use until we're living in some John Varley-esque future where we can all change our genders whenever we damn well please (and that future can't get here soon enough for me).
