Pronouns include, <strong>but are not limited to<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He\/Him\/His (traditionally masculine)<\/li>\n<li>She\/Her\/Hers (traditionally feminine)<\/li>\n<li>They\/Them\/Theirs (gender-neutral or gender-non-conforming pronouns)<\/li>\n<li>Ze\/Zir\/Zirs (gender-neutral)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Certain people <strong>may choose to use multiple sets of pronouns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>which means they are comfortable being referred to using pronouns from multiple \u201cseries\u201d of pronouns, <strong>or no pronouns at all<\/strong> \u2014 which may mean they prefer to use their given name. Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>She\/They: comfortable using she\/her\/hers or they\/them\/theirs pronouns<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAny pronouns\u201d: comfortable using any pronouns<\/li>\n<li>\u201cJust my name\u201d: prefers to be referred to using their name or other form of reference<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Someone else\u2019s <strong>pronouns<\/strong> <strong>cannot be determined based on appearance or sex-assigned-at-birth<\/strong>. An individual may exhibit typically masculine features but use pronouns that are not \u201che\/him\/his.\u201d Similarly, <strong>pronouns are not permanent<\/strong>. An individual\u2019s pronouns can change depending on their preferences at any given time. It is a person\u2019s right to change their pronouns in order to match their gender identity.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why are pronouns important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Respecting others\u2019 pronouns shows <strong>basic respect for an individual\u2019s gender identity<\/strong> and, more generally, their individuality. When someone\u2019s pronouns are invalidated, it can make them feel dysphoric, disrespected, dismissed, and alienated. Moreover, transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals have been historically targeted and hurt by misgendering and the intentional use of incorrect pronouns. Additionally, it is <strong>incredibly important to use a person\u2019s preferred pronouns for their safety<\/strong>, as using other pronouns can \u201cout\u201d \u2014 doing something that exposes someone&#8217;s identity without their consent \u2014 and expose people to danger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thus, it is very important to ask for someone\u2019s pronouns<\/strong>. Asking for someone\u2019s pronouns can be a simple <strong>\u201cHey, what are your preferred pronouns\u201d<\/strong> or <strong>\u201cWhich pronouns should I use to refer to you.\u201d<\/strong> While awkward at first, asking for someone else\u2019s pronouns shows mutual respect and prevents dangerous situations. Pronouns change, so it might be necessary to ask someone you have known for a while for their pronouns, such as a simple, <strong>\u201cHey could you remind me what pronouns you use?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, mistakes happen, so it is important to know <strong>what to do when you have accidentally misgendered someone.<\/strong> While it depends on someone\u2019s preferences, the best plan of action in a situation where you have used the wrong pronouns when referring to someone else is to <strong>apologize quickly and continue on with the conversation<\/strong>. This can look like <strong>\u201cBrad is going to the store, he \u2014 sorry \u2014 they are going to buy avocados.\u201d<\/strong> Many people find long apologies uncomfortable, especially in a larger group or social setting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If there are doubts about a certain person\u2019s preferred pronouns<\/strong>, and you do not have the chance to ask them to clarify their preferred pronouns, the best bet is to use gender-neutral pronouns like they\/them\/theirs and wait for correction.<\/p>\n<p>However, these conversations are often best in one-on-one situations and can lead to awkwardness or uncomfort to TGNC people in group settings. But, there are <strong>other ways to be gender-inclusive in group settings\/outside of one-on-one conversations. <\/strong>First, when in a large group of people, it can be incredibly helpful to introduce yourself using your own pronouns, such as <strong>\u201cHi! My name is John, I am 25 years old, from New York City, and I use he\/him pronouns.\u201d <\/strong>This both encourages others in the group to also share their pronouns and creates a safe space for TGNC people who may be uncomfortable being the first to share their pronouns.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, typical introductions or phrases like <strong>\u201cladies and gentlemen\u201d <\/strong>can alienate many gender-non-conforming individuals, and can instead be substituted with phrases like<\/p>\n<h2>\u201c<strong>Hey everyone!\u201d <\/strong>or <strong>\u201cHey everybody!\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These are just a few of the many ways to increase inclusivity and equity. The bottom line is to <strong>always make sure to ask for someone\u2019s preferred pronouns \u2014 never assume! \u2014 and to respect the pronouns that other individuals have indicated they prefer.<\/strong> Mistakes happen in any space, but the most important thing is that individuals make an effort to show their mutual respect for others, and respecting one another\u2019s pronouns is one of the first steps toward that goal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Information included in the above document was adapted from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/assets\/hra\/downloads\/pdf\/services\/lgbtqi\/Gender%20Pronouns final draft 10.23.17.pdf\">New York City Department of Social Services and Resources article<\/a> \u201cGender Pronouns: How to Take Important Steps in Becoming a TGNC Ally\u201d and from \u201cPreferred Gender Pronouns For Faculty,\u201d materials written by Mateo Medina for Hampshire College &amp; \u201cGender Pronouns 101,\u201d article written by Logan Meza at soulsistersleadership.org.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #5a0f04;\"><a style=\"color: #5a0f04;\" href=\"https:\/\/eimpactconsulting.com\/cheryl-mccants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #014209;\">Cheryl McCants<\/span><\/a><\/span> ~ Impact Founder and CEO<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n<span class=\"inf_infusionsoft_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gender pronouns (like she, him, or they, among others) specifically refer to people that you are talking about.
