GLSEN Pronouns Resource
You may have noticed that more and more people are sharing their pronouns in introductions, email signatures, on name tags, and at the beginning of meetings. Sharing pronouns gives everyone the opportunity to self-identify instead of having others assume their identity or which pronouns they use. Including pronouns is a first step toward respecting a person’s identity and creating a more welcoming space for folks of all gender identities. Some examples include “she/her” or “he/him” or gender-neutral pronouns, such as “they/them” or “ze/hir,” [pronounced: zee/heer]. This pronoun guide from the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) will help you to learn how to create a more welcoming space for gender nonconforming and transgender students, faculty, staff, and community members.
