The importance of pronouns

6/16/2019

 
You may have started to see people's pronouns being included in their email signoff, or you may have heard this in the media.  My pronouns (included in each of my emails) are 'he/him/his'.  An article released by mypronouns.org explains why this is important-
  • To use someone's pronouns is a sign of respect, as it is to remember someone's name
  • To assume someone's pronouns sends out a message that someone should look or behave a certain way to be considered a particular gender
  • To ignore someone's declared pronouns can be a hostile act, as it implies that "intersex, transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people do not or should not exist" (mypronouns.org)
Why not include your pronouns in your own email signoff.  You don't know how important this small gesture might be.
