Now that Jill Soloway, the creator of the groundbreaking Transparent and I Love Dick, has come out as gender non-binary (someone who identifies as neither man nor woman), the singular they pronoun has replaced she. “It’s fine if people use she or her,” Soloway tells Newsweek. But “when people use they, it makes my heart soar!”

Before coming out, however, Soloway had written a memoir, titled She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy (Crown Archetype). Would that prove too confusing? Ultimately, Soloway, a feminist, decided to leave it. “Even though I don’t identify as a she anymore, I love the power of She Wants It.”
