📩 The Importance of Using the Correct Pronouns
This article discusses the importance of using the correct pronouns when referencing someone.
A pronoun is a descriptor used in place of a noun, and it adds context about the gender a person identifies as. Some people may not feel comfortable with traditional gendered pronouns like “he/him” or “she/her” and prefer neutral pronouns like “they/them.”
The use of the correct pronouns can make someone feel safe and validated, and it is important to include one’s own pronouns in social media profiles, email signatures, and introductions.
Additionally, some people may prefer more than one pronoun or none at all, and it is important to respect and use the pronouns that someone prefers. It is also important to apologize and correct oneself if a mistake is made.
See you soon.
