In Hindi, 3rd person pronouns don't have either gender or 'personness' distinctions, just singular/plural and like...near/far proximity. So you have basically

Ye - he/she/it/this
Ve - he/she/it/that
Yehe - them/these
Vehe - them/those

It drove me fucking *crazy*, all the time, as a native english speaker, not to be able to differentiate between persons and things. I think expanding 'it' would actually be a much higher psychological bar for most people than accepting a new set of pronouns. (Especially if we go with ey/em, which have a logical conjugation pattern that everyone already knows, unlike ze/xir/whatever.)

What would the conjugation pattern for ey/em be?

(Anonymous) 2017-05-20 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

ey/em/eir/eirs/eirself

from this site https://genderneutralpronoun.wordpress.com/

It doesn't sound weird, flows off the tongue, and is clear when used in writing. I'd be all for it.

That's not logical for 'eirself'. Logical is 'emself', assuming you follow the patterns for they/he/she, which all use the accusative form + self (for she, the genitive and accusative happen to look the same [her and her], but you can see it's the accusative form that's meant to be used because of 'himself'--the genitive form is a dialectical variation aka not technically correct)
