Pronouns
Why do pronouns matter? Pronouns affirm gender identities and create safe spaces, while misgendering results in marginalization and communicates that a person’s identity is not seen as important. Correctly using someone’s pronouns is one of the most basic ways to show your respect for their gender identity. Learn more here.
