    A lively discussion on Talking Gender: Fluidity, Pronouns, and the Arabic Language

    Merriam-Webster has recently added “they” to the dictionary as a pronoun to refer to a person whose gender identity is non-binary, which was followed by announcing it as the word of the year for 2019.

    As we witness the evolution of Western society’s attitudes towards gender and sexuality, and the reflection that this has on language, it is time to discuss how this translates to the Arab World.
