- Assertion
- An eye-tracking study found that readers spent 43 ms longer (about 0.86%) in the region after hen than after she or he, with no extra cost at the pronoun itself, and concluded that gender-neutral pronouns need not be avoided because of processing difficulty.
- Quote
The results do not support that gender-neutral pronouns should be avoided because they are difficult to process.
