Building from @Jontia's, Personally, while I'm comfortable with she/her (and I'm also not a robot), I always like the X or Z options, and I had hoped they would catch on with people who wanted an alternative. -- my nonbinary friends aren't fans, alas. But **Zi/Zin may work well for a robot** -- more personal than "it," but distinct from he/she. > Robot Q3E sighed. Ze wasn't a happy robot because zar owner had been disappointed in zin due to zar increasing independence. He/him/his in this became ze/zin/zar. (I didn't see a possessive, so "zar" felt right to me. Others use the objective pronoun also as the possive, just like "She took _her_ historic punch card. Robots then avoided _her_." -- once as the possessive pronoun, once as the objective (object of a sentence).)
