Why are all popular literary works limited to traditional pronouns?

that proletarian ruffian looks quite vital, healthy and sure of his place in the order of things. the tranny pampered by a liberal nanny state, which is to say socialism, looks decadent, frail and useless. so i would say we, in fact, need more capitalism!

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 16 17:41:37 2015 No.6151980 >>6151947 We already had a cultural revolution in 1968.

Number of reasons
>New pronouns are not really in common use
>There are comparatively few trans writers, or writers who would choose to use such pronouns
>Of such writers, even fewer are good/renowned. I'd go so far to say as they don't really exist.
>They mutilate the English language.
