No, they're gender-neutral pronouns:
ve = she/he
ver = him/her
vis = hers/his
I encountered them in Greg Egan's Diaspora.
And yes, True Names :) An inspiration.
With a decent host machine, one can run numerous Whonix instances, each with one or more personas. They can be long-term or throwaway.
I do nothing at all private on smartphones. Signal and WhatsApp are cool and all, but radios are untrustable black boxes. Even if the data is secured at rest.
Edit: In Egan's Diaspora, one of the protagonists is a software-generated entity, which literally has no gender. In my case, I'm referring to invented personas, which have whatever gender I fancy.
