===Spivak pronouns and gender in virtual communities=== In online anonymous situations, Spivak and other gender neutral pronouns can be motivated by avoiding gendered speech that would make divisions in the social group more likely and the group possibly less productive or enjoyable.<ref>Herring, Susan. "Gender Differences in Computer-Mediated Communication: Bringing Familiar Baggage to the New Frontier." Making the Net*Work: Is There a Z39.50 in Gender Communication? American Library Association Annual Convention, Miami. 27 June 1994. Web. 1 Aug. 2014. <http://urd.let.rug.nl/~welling/cc/gender-differences-communication.pdf></ref> This contact with genderless pronouns in virtual communities is sometimes a person's first experience and experimentation with presenting their gender in a [[genderqueer]] or [[transgender]] manner.<ref name="CyberSociety 2.0" />
