What are pronouns? Helpful info from
Learning pronouns helps trans people
- When we speak, we use gendered pronouns without even noticing,
- eg. he/him, she/her, they/them.
- You can鈥檛 always know someone鈥檚 pronouns by looking at them.
- Using the wrong pronouns can cause anyone to feel disrespected.
Share your pronouns with others
- Displaying your pronouns shows others you鈥檒l respect theirs.
- Try introducing your name with pronouns (鈥淢y name is Sarah, she/her鈥�).
- Try wearing your pronouns as a badge, or within your email signature.
Pronouns aren't always obvious
- Use gender neutral pronouns (eg. they / them) when you鈥檙e unsure.
- Never use 鈥榠t鈥� to refer to other people.
- Try creating an environment where others do the same lead by example!
It can take a bit to learn
- If you make a mistake - don鈥檛 make a fuss. Correct yourself and move on.
- Try gently correcting someone if they use the wrong pronouns, even if
- the person they鈥檙e talking about is not around.
- Remember: even small actions can make a big difference!
