==Etymology==
The word {{tp|tonsi}} is derived from {{w|Mandarin Chinese}} {{lang|zh|{{wikt|同志}}}} (''{{lang|zh-Latn|tóngzhì}}'', lit. "same will"), meaning "kindred spirit" or "comrade", with neologistic senses of "gay" and "queer (person)". {{tp|tonsi}} was coined by {{tok|jan inwin}} in 2019 as a proposal for a {{tp|[[nimi sin]]}} for non-binary identity.<ref>{{cite Discord|name={{tok|jan inwin}}|username=orsetto|url=//discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/375591429608570881/600881974172712962|channel={{tok|sona-musi}}|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}}}</ref> It was informally voted on in a series of polls in the {{tp|[[ma pona pi toki pona]]}} Discord server.<ref name="
The semantic space of {{tp|tonsi}} originally proposed was broader than the accepted version. It meant "break normative boundaries," and with {{tp|[[jan]]}} would refer to nonbinary folks. {{tp|tonsi}} was also not the original form of the word.<ref name="inwin2019b"/><ref name="inwin2019c"/>

==Adoption==
The speaking community widely considers {{tp|tonsi}} to be a crucial addition to [[Toki Pona]], referring to it as an honorary {{tp|[[nimi pu]]}} to give it equal consideration to {{tp|meli}} and {{tp|mije}} in spite of [[pu-rism|{{tp|pu}}-rism]]. In the "Notes on {{tp|lipu pu}}" section of the ''[[Toki Pona Dictionary]]'', {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}} endorses the effort:<ref>{{cite ku|6}}</ref>
