What are your pronouns9/14/2023 It is important to normalize the question “what is your pronoun?” whenever we interact with someone new and to introduce ourselves with our name and chosen pronoun. We cannot assume people’s gender just by reading their name, listening to their voice, seeing what type of clothing they wear, how they express or physically present themselves, etc. Pronouns are not preferred they are the pronouns we use regardless of our presentation and / or gender expression. There are people whose pronoun is their name.One can have more than one or two pronouns.Using different pronouns is valid and must be affirmed by everyone For example, I might identify myself on the male spectrum today using pronouns like “ Him ( él ) ” but would perhaps identify more fluidly using the pronoun “ Them ( ellxs ) ” tomorrow. Them (elle/ellxs/elli/le or other variances) for people who identify as gender fluid, gender expansive or explore the gender spectrum differently every day.Him ( él) for people on the male spectrum (trans, cis, gender fluid, etc.).Her ( ella) for people on the female spectrum (trans, cis, gender fluid, etc.).It is important to acknowledge this because it holds us accountable for being part of the fight for gender equity justice. All of us, not only those who identify as transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, gender fluid, etc. Personal pronouns are words used to refer to one or more people. PRONOUNS: WE ALL HAVE ONE OR MORE GENDER IDENTITY (IES)
