 \abstract{\noindent\begin{quote}This is a package to produce ``gender neutral'' text by allowing one to alternate use of the masculine and feminine genders within a text.  It is not really intended to be taken too seriously (although it works) but it was fun to think about how one would do this automatically.  Some comments about using the package in practice are given at the end.\end{quote}}
 \section{Introduction}
-This package arose out of a question asked on the StackExchange website: \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/10787/}. The question asked how easy it would be to automatically alternate masculine and feminine pronouns. A couple of almost identical solutions were proposed by Martin Scharrer and someone named Josef.  It became clear to me that the simple solution really wasn't enough, since you don't want to switch pronouns all the time, but also require anaphora to an existing switched pronoun.  This package is the result of that discussion.

 \section{Background}
 If you are trying to write truly gender-neutral text, then generic constructs like (\ref{1}) prescriptively require you to use either the masculine pronoun (\ref{he}) (which today sounds very stuffy) or the somewhat awful-looking \emph{he or she} (\ref{heshe}) or even worse \emph{s/he} (\ref{she}). Or you can try to reverse the male-only trend and use only the feminine pronoun as a replacement for (\ref{he}), as in (\ref{she-only}). With any luck the use of the gender neutral \emph{they} (as in (\ref{they1})) will become more acceptable to editors, but until then, people who don't like either of the other options are stuck.

 It's debatable whether this is in fact a good strategy, and the present author in no way endorses it, but it was fun to write the resultant package.  So, should you wish to adopt the strategy, and be in need of an automatic way to do it (which makes sense, since otherwise it would be hard to keep track of the switches) the present package is for you.

 \section{User commands}
-The user commands are quite simple: for each pronoun case form (nominative, accusative, and genitive) there is a switching version and an anaphoric version.  Each of these has both an uppercase version and a lowercase version. The anaphoric forms can be of either gender, just to keep everyone happy. (But since the feminine accusative and genitive forms (\emph{her}) are identical, the feminine genitive macro is \pkg{\bs hir}.) There are also a couple of flags that may be of use.\bigskip

-In the first example, the switching version is used throughout, yielding the gibberish of (\ref{switched}). In the second example the first instance of the pronoun uses the switching version (\pkg{\bs heshe}) (here assuming it has been already used once), but subsequent anaphoric references to the current gender are preserved using the anaphoric versions (\pkg{\bs he,\bs his} or\pkg{\bs his}).

 \subsection{Use of the \pkg{xspace} package}
 By default, the package uses the \pkg{xspace} package to insert a space automatically after the pronoun. The \pkg{xspace} package automatically checks for following punctuation and suppresses the space in these cases.  However, it's not perfect, and some users might prefer not to have the space inserted automatically.  They can do this by using the \pkg{[noxspace]} option.

 Using the manual method might actually be practical in some cases.  For example, you could set the state at the beginning of a chapter and then just use the anaphoric version of the pronouns for all generic pronouns throughout the chapter.  This might be a less annoying strategy than switching pronouns constantly throughout a chapter.
+\section{The \pkg{[para]} option}
+For some purposes it may be useful to have the genders switch every paragraph.  In this case you may use the \pkg{[para]} option.  With this option, every new paragraph resets the gender.  In this case, as with the per chapter example just discussed, \emph{only} the anaphoric versions of the pronouns should be used in the running text. This option was added in response to another  \href{http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/100108/2693}{Stack Exchange question}.
