This is what is coming post SSM. It isn't enough to simply coexist or be tolerant they intend to transform society and not just in Sweden. This pernicious roots are already taking hold here with teaching grade schoolers about multiple genders and encouraging kids to participate in same sex experimentation.

They can use any wordings they want, but when it comes to stuff like electric and plumbing, there will always be a male and female fitting or plug.

In Scotland, ‘hen’ is a woman - vocative term for a woman (e.g. It’s aw richt, hen), or a general term of endearment for anyone.

But the ever-progressive nation of Sweden has introduced a new gender-neutral pronounhen (neither the masculine han nor the feminine hon)into its official National Encyclopedia. In other news, Swedish scientists say they have discovered a new number between 4 and 5. They will call it "bleen".

Making it harder to know what the other person is talking about is “improving” the language?
Um... no

Is this not more or less what ‘one’ as a pronoun has long offered in the English language?
To: Maelstorm
Libs tried a similar thing in English several decades ago. It was a combo of he+she, him+her, etc. The resulting new preferred pronouns were about as ridiculous as the Swedish example.
Needless to say, the new preferred pronouns never got much traction. That was about the time MS or Ms or Ms. or Mz came into existence. [Is that still used?]

But they’ll stupidly affix the male end to the wall with prongs sticking out to symbolize their mastery over the male end.

In Scotland, hen is a woman
In Farmland, 'hen' is a female fowl of an older age. As in 'you old hen!'

I want to know what the Swedish Roosters have to say about all this.

Sweden where they made it unPC for a man to stand while peeing. The effort to make standing and peeing illegal thankfully failed. I wonder how many men in Sweden were brow beaten into sitting and peeing?

We’ve had one of those for a while now - “it”. They’re welcome to borrow ours.

I believe that this acronym is appropriate:
She
He
It, or
Transgendered.
