I really like having a gender-neutral pronoun, but I know that not everyone agrees on the usage. Now I use it for people that have explicitly asked to have "ri" used for them. I also use it when I don't know the gender of a person and I want to make sure that's clear.



Otherwise I'd use "ri" in feminist contexts, but I might be careful using it around people I think might be conservative.



When should or shouldn't I use "ri"?

            It's a very controversial pronoun that almost no one likes to use besides feminists and the like so even while most know it very few will actually use it really (but it might seem to be a lot of people as the most active online are feminists and allies) so i'd recommend you to not to use it unless explicitly asked for someone as theirnpronoun, enjoy Esperanto!
