% \maketitle
% \begin{abstract}
% The \textsf{E--Em--Eir} package facilitates writing documents that
% must be produced in both a male and a female form by providing
% natural and easily remembered commands (control sequences) to
% type in place of gender specific words.
% \end{abstract}
%
%
% I had occasion to write a couple of documents that needed to be printed
% in both a male and a female version.  To accomplish that conveniently,
% I developed this \textsf{E--Em--Eir} package which
% provides four commands,
% \DescribeMacro{\E}
% \DescribeMacro{\Em}
% \DescribeMacro{\Eir}
% \DescribeMacro{\Eirs}
% "\E", "\Em", "\Eir", and "\Eirs",
% that expand to personal pronouns depending on gender as follows:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lcc}
%              &amp; Male&amp; Female\\[2pt]
% "\E"    &amp; he  &amp; she\\
% "\Em"   &amp; him &amp; her\\
% "\Eir"  &amp; his &amp; her\\
% "\Eirs" &amp; his &amp; hers
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
% Thus,
% just as `I' is the first person singular pronoun, regardless of gender, so
% "\E" stands the third person singular pronoun for both genders:
% "\E" is the singular of `they'.  Accordingly, "\Eir" and
% "\Eirs" (pronounced to
% rhyme with `their(s)') are the possessives, and "\Em" (rhyming with
% `them') stands for either `him' or `her'.\footnote{I first encountered
% the pronouns `E', `Em', and `Eir' in M.D.~Spivak's \emph{The Joy of \TeX}
% and I have adapted the description of those pronouns from there.}
%
% For example,
% \begin{example}
% The user neglects reading the documentation at
% "\Eir" peril
% \end{example}
% expands to ``The user neglects reading the documentation at his peril''
% or ``The user neglects reading the documentation at her peril''
% depending on gender.
% Note that "\Eir" (and the other pronoun commands) automatically
% add a space after the pronoun where appropriate.\footnote{Curtesy of
% David Carlisle's \textsf{xspace} package
% which is required by the \textsf{E--Em--Eir}
% package and included in most distributions of \TeX.}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\swapgender}
% You can change gender~(!) mid stream with the "\swapgender" command.
% Thus
% \begin{example}
% "\E*" loves "\swapgender\Em" for "\Eir" body
% \end{example}
% expands to either ``She loves him for his body'' or ``He loves her for her body.''
% Note that the starred form of the pronoun commands yields a capitalized pronoun.
% The "\swapgender" command is a \emph{declaration} like "\large":
% its effect lasts until the end of the enclosing block (or until the
% gender is explicitly changed again).
% \DescribeEnv{swapgender}
% Like the font size commands, you can also use an environment
% form:
% \begin{example}
% "\E*" always praises "\begin{swapgender}" "\Eir" cooking; and
% "\E" "\end{swapgender}" loves "\Em" for it.
% \end{example}
% expands to ``She always praises his cooking; and he loves her for it.''
%
% \DescribeMacro{\newwordpair}
% You can easily add more commands like "\E" and friends.  For
% example,
% \begin{example}
% "\newwordpair{\child}{son}{daughter}"
%
% You say your "\child's" name and
% "\E" is marked with God's sign so that God knows
% "\Em" as His own.  Thus, the Sign of the Cross is a promise that God's
% love can always find your "\child."
% \end{example}
% expands to ``You say your daughter's name and
% she is marked with God's sign so that God knows
% her as His own.  Thus, the Sign of the Cross is a promise that God's
% love can always find your daughter\@.''\ in the female case.
% You could also write "grand\child" for grandson or
% granddaughter, etc.
%
% Other extensions come to mind:
% \begin{example}
% "\newwordpair{\parent}{father}{mother}"\\
% "\newwordpair{\spouse}{husband}{wife}"\\
% "\newwordpair{\sibling}{brother}{sister}"\\
% "\newwordpair{\nogoodnameforthisone}{nephew}{niece}"\\
% "\newwordpair{\orforthis}{uncle}{aunt}"\\
% "\newwordpair{\Mx}{Mr}{Ms}"
% \end{example}
% Each command defined by "\newwordpair" adds a space after the
% word where appropriate, and each has a starred form that capitalizes
% the word.
% \DescribeMacro{\renewwordpair}
% There is also a "\renewwordpair" command if you should want to re-define
% a command.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ifmale}
% The commands defined by "\newwordpair" are intended to supply a single
% gender-specific word.
% If a whole phrase needs to be different, you can use
% the "\ifmale"--"\else"--"\fi" construct:
% \begin{example}
% \dots "\E" is expected to wear\verb*: \ifmale: smoking,
% patent leather shoes, and top hat"\else"
% full-length evening gown\verb*:\fi\ :for the gala.
% \end{example}
% This construct is provided by plain \TeX, so avoiding spurious spaces
% is the user's responsibility.
% If you find yourself using this construct often, you should have a look
% at the \textsf{optional} package and\slash or the \textsf{version} package.
%
% You set the gender when you load the \textsf{E--Em--Eir} package with
% "\usepackage" in the preamble:
% \begin{syntax}
% "\usepackage"\oarg{option}"{"\textsf{eemeir}"}"
% \end{syntax}
% The \meta{option} can be one of
% "male", "female", or the default, "ask".
% \DescribeMacro{\male}
% \DescribeMacro{\female}
% \DescribeMacro{\askforgender}
% You can also set the gender (at any reasonable place in your document) with
% one of the commands "\male", "\female", or "\askforgender"---and
% don't forget "\swapgender".
%
% \DescribeMacro{\male[...]}
% \DescribeMacro{\female[...]}
% A document can of course refer to the gender of more than one
% person.  The \textsf{E--Em--Eir} package can therefore keep track of
% more than one person:  Define a new person by giving an optional
% argument to "\male", "\female", or "\askforgender".
% Then give the same optional argument to "\E" or any other command
% defined by "\newwordpair" to use the gender of that person.
% For example,
% \begin{example}
% "\female[pastor]"
%
% Let your "\child" face the pastor so "\E[pastor]"
% can\dots
% \end{example}
% expands to ``Let your son face the pastor so she can\dots''\ if the
% main gender is male and "\child" has been defined as above.
% Once you have set the gender of a new person with, say,
% "\female[pastor]", you can change the gender with
% "\swapgender[pastor]" (or "\begin{swapgender}[pastor]"\dots) and
% the "\ifmale" construct for this person becomes
% "\ifmalepastor"--"\else"--"\fi".
%
%
% \section{Summary}
% \DescribeMacro{\newwordpair}
% \DescribeMacro{\renewwordpair}
% Define new commands or re-define old ones with
% \begin{syntax}
% "\newwordpair"\marg{cmd}\marg{male}\marg{female}\\
% "\renewwordpair"\marg{cmd}\marg{male}\marg{female}
% \end{syntax}
% Then \meta{cmd} is used like
% \begin{syntax}
% \meta{cmd}\oarg{person}\\
% \meta{cmd}"*"\oarg{person}
% \end{syntax}
% The un-starred version expands to \meta{male} or \meta{female} depending on
% the current gender of \meta{person} or the main gender in the absence of the
% optional argument.  Similarly, the starred version expands to \meta{male} or
% \meta{female} with the first letter capitalized.\footnote{If you
% want more than just the first letter capitalized, enclose the
% desired letters in braces:
% If
% \texttt{\bslash newwordpair\{\bslash
% strange\}\{\{ab\}cd\}\{\{def\}gh\}},
% then \texttt{\bslash strange*} expands
% to ``ABcd'' or ``DEFgh''.}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\male}
% \DescribeMacro{\female}
% \DescribeMacro{\askforgender}
% You set the \meta{person} gender (or the main gender in the absence of the
% optional argument) with one of the commands
% \begin{syntax}
% "\male"\oarg{person}\\
% "\female"\oarg{person}\\
% "\askforgender"\oarg{person}
% \end{syntax}
% You can also set the main gender with one of the options "male",
% "female", or "ask" (the default) when you load the \textsf{E--Em--Eir}
% package.
% \DescribeMacro{\swapgender}\DescribeEnv{swapgender}
% Once a gender has been set, you can change it with
% \begin{syntax}
% "\swapgender"\oarg{person}
% \end{syntax}
% or
% \begin{syntax}
% "\begin{swapgender}"\oarg{person} \dots "\end{swapgender}"
% \end{syntax}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ifmale[...]}
% If you have longer passages that are gender specific, you can
% enclose them in "\ifmale"\meta{person}--"\else"--"\fi" or
% "\ifmale"--"\else"--"\fi" in case of the main gender.  If you use
% this construct often, either you have misunderstood the purpose of
% the \textsf{E--Em--Eir} package or I should extend it with some suitable
% environment for conditional inclusion of blocks of text. Let me
% know\dots
%
% \section{Installation}
% As you must have figured, you
% generate the documentation for the \textsf{E--Em--Eir} package
% by running the file \url:eemeir.dtx: through
% \LaTeX---twice to resolve cross references.\footnote{If you want an index,
% you must run MakeIndex
% (\texttt{makeindex -s gind.ist eemeir}) between the two
% \LaTeX{} runs.}
%
% To extract the \url{.sty} file from \url{eemeir.dtx},
% run \url:eemeir.ins: through \LaTeX.
% You now have to decide what to do with several files.
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Move the file \url:eemeir.sty: to some
% directory where \LaTeX\ can find it; the natural choice would be
% \url:(local)texmf/tex/latex/misc:.
% \item Move the documentation, \url:eemeir.dvi:, to
% \url:(local)texmf/doc/latex/misc:.
% \item You may discard the source files, \url:eemeir.dtx: and
% \url:eemeir.ins:, or store them in
% \url:(local)texmf/source/latex/misc:.
% \end{itemize}

% Thus, if "\ifmale#1" is undefined, we define a new person by
