The pronoun is "iel." It can be used with non-binary people--people who do not identify themselves as male or female.

Some well-known people--including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris--put their pronoun on Twitter, in emails and on documents.

It also has created debate in the French press and on social media, with several politicians taking issue with the term.
它还在法国媒体和社交媒体上引发了争论，几位政界人士对这个词提出了异议。
The French government is against the idea.

He added that he supported parliament member Francois Jolivet's protest against Le Robert's move.
他还说，他支持议员弗朗索瓦·朱利维对Le Robert此举的抗议。
In a letter to the Academie Francaise, Jolivet wrote that the use of the words "iel, ielle, iels and ielles" would lead more people to accept the "woke ideology," which would destroy French values.
在写给法兰西学术院的一封信中，朱利维写道，使用“iel，ielle，iels和ielles”这样的词语会让更多的人接受“觉醒的意识形态”，这会摧毁法国的价值观。
Jolivet added that the dictionary's action "undermines our common language...and divides users rather than uniting them."
朱利维还说，该词典的做法“破坏了我们的共同语言……也分裂了用户，而不是团结了他们。”
Le Robert director Charles Bimbenet said dictionaries include many words that express different ideas.
Le Robert的主管查尔斯·宾贝内表示，词典收录了许多表达不同观点的单词。
But the dictionaries themselves do not necessarily support these ideas.
但词典本身并不一定支持这些观点。
Since the word "iel" is used more and more, it is useful to include the term in the dictionary.
由于“iel”的使用频率越来越高，所以把这个词收录在词典里是很有用的。
Bimbenet added, "The Robert's mission is to observe the evolution of a diverse French language as it evolves and to report on it.
宾贝内还说：“Robert的任务是发现多样化法语的演变，并就此进行报道。
Defining the words that speak of the world is to help understand it better."
给谈论世界的词语下定义是为了更好地理解它。”
