This June, consider working your pronouns into your email signature, social media description, name tag, etc. to help others feel included. You may think it’s obvious by your name which pronouns should be used when addressing you, but not everyone has that privilege. For example, someone named ‘David’ may not use ‘he/him’ pronouns, and they shouldn’t need a stereotypical gender-neutral name for others to understand that. Taking the extra step of identifying your pronouns helps normalize the action, and helps others feel included.
For more information on pronouns, check out What’s Your Pronoun? by Dennis Baron or A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns by Archie Bongiovanni.
