Why we should start using pronouns

Have you seen somebody with he/him, she/her or they/them on their email signature or their social media bio recently?

These are a basic set of pronouns and it is becoming more and more common for people to use them, and you don’t have to be LGBT+ to start.

 

Why do people add pronouns?

I’m cisgender, which means I identify with the sex assigned to me at birth.

I use the pronouns she/her to help normalise discussions about gender, especially for the trans and non-binary communities.

What can you do?

Using pronouns is a key element of being an LGBT+ ally and is something that is effortless to do, but means the world to others.
