  This article makes note of several, such as new ungendered pronouns (ŝli &lt; ŝi au li; ri = they s.) and the degendering of formerly masculine nouns (dentisto =/= male dentist).
  I'm sure that these proposals are coming from the community of speakers themselves and are being agreed to by consensus before any kind of official blessing.
