No, the Imperium doesn't care what pronouns you use. However, that goes for "he" and "she" just as much as "they" and "ze". I'm not writing about the Administratum's population records, I'm writing about interpersonal interactions between people who know each other.

(admittedly, the return of Guilliman skews this narrative a bit, since he not only wants to make things better but might actually be able to. However, he’s busy firefighting at the moment, and also sort of made himself Emperor-but-not-really-honest for expediency’s sake)

With that in mind: why not have the diversity of our current human experience on display? The Imperium is a nightmare, but that Imperial Guard regiment fighting the Tyranids are still trying to protect other humans from being eaten.

Happy Nonbinary Person’s Day! Just to recap, a nonbinary person: - can use any pronouns - can have any gender presentation - can feel connection to multiple or no genders, and the details can change - may not be out publicly due to family or social pressures - can control frogs

Just found a comment on my (somewhat haphazardly-updated) website blog from a man OUTRAGED that I put non-binary identities in Rites Of Passage, and telling me not to write 40k if I’m going to put social politics in. I’ve told him that I will keep doing so, and getting paid :D

I’m afraid to say I don’t know who did this, but they are a hero of the highest order.
