Xe and Ze are two examples of gender pronouns commonly called neopronouns. So if you followed somebody on this site that had one of those options selected in the settings, you might get a notification like "Exampleperson added Puss in Boots: The Last Wish to zir watchlist."
Neopronouns are sets of pronouns like He/him/his, She/her/her or They/them/their that people have coined recently and that aren't used historically. They are used primarily by nonbinary people, though some surveys indicate only a minority of nonbinary people use them, and often they will also be okay with people using non-neopronouns as well.
If you want to read more about neopronouns you can read this article:
Or this survey on how nonbinary people use language like pronouns:

Xe and zir are barely used by anyone though. Like 100 theys for every one Xe

One, why not show data from those who use they/them? Two, how many people who use xe/ze use that site? If that data is from like 8 people, it shouldn’t really be used.

neopronouns are a fucking joke made to make the trans community look stupid.

Neopronouns are usually used by neurodivergent (more specifically autistic) people, and they help them identify themselves in their own way that they often can’t with the already established pronouns.
It’s harmless and it helps people to be themselves.

Its harmful to NB people. Pronouns are not a way to identify your personality or mental disorders, they are a part of english. They make trans people look like fools.

They don’t,
you’re just being unnecessarily hateful;

Nah. You are actively trying to make NBs look like a joke.

So in short it's some bullshit made up for use by a tiny minority within a minority, that nobody here understands or cares for. Just use they/them.
