Traditionally, "oneself" has been used as a reflexive pronoun to refer to an individual. However, some people use "themself" as a gender-neutral alternative to "himself" or "herself." While the use of "themself" as a singular pronoun is becoming more accepted in modern language, it is still considered non-standard by some grammarians and style guides.
