Preamble
novaTopFlex, as an identity, has internalized the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Therefore, the goal of novaTopFlex is to avoid the use of pronouns as much as possible, though such avoidance may not always be feasible. As a compromise, however, novaTopFlex can—and shall—focus on minimizing pronoun use with the exception of the Daily Prompts on WordPress and occasionally to refer to royalty and nobility, especially prior to the year 1500.
Why the Divide?
novaTopFlex shall focus on restricting pronouns to an era when gender roles were more fixed and traditional. While such roles remained strictly enforced and intact in many societies long after the year 1500, historical records prior to 1500 have often had obvious gender markers, while later historical records may be more ambiguous. Pronouns may also be necessary in the daily prompts and associated questions, specifically, for the simple reason that the questions are directed to the writer in particular.
