The word tonsi is derived from Mandarin Chinese 同志 (tóngzhì, lit. "same will"), meaning "kindred spirit" or "comrade", with neologistic senses of "gay" and "queer (person)". tonsi was coined in 2019 by jan inwin as a proposal for a nimi sin for non-binary identity.[1] It was informally voted on in a series of polls in the ma pona pi toki pona Discord server.[2]
