***** Usage notes
- The genderqueer community is the primary proponent of [en] . One refers to a person with _ze_ and [en] or [en] typically (a) when their gender is unknown, and one wishes to avoid assuming their gender, or (b) when they are neither male nor female in gender, making [en] and [en] (and also either/or terms like [en] or [en] ) inappropriate and potentially hurtful.

It is often avoided by using the reduced form [nl] or the masculine form [nl] or the neuter form [nl] or, in formal style, the full form [nl] .
- In Belgium, _ze_ is usual as a reduced form of _haar_ even when referring to persons (as in the example further above).
- _Ze_ is used in certain short and idiomatic phrases in the imperative wishing one good luck, the most common by far being [nl] .
