Yes, it’s there, but not in any way designated as a pronoun preference. The _only_ indication we have that it might have ever been so designated is @Colibri saying… > apparently in her bio on Twitter she is still using “xo.” … in reference to what pronoun she was using before “she/they”. What I was saying is that I don’t know why Colibri thought “xo” was related to Halsey’s pronouns in any way. Powers &8^] ---

The _only_ indication we have that it might have ever been so designated is @Colibri saying… I saw it mentioned in some other article. I never saw it myself in her Twitter bio. Sorry for any confusion. You can probably just drop this. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-does-it-mean-when-someones-pronouns-are-she-they-or-he-they/937882.md?page=4)
