Pronouns: Difference between revisions

'''Pronouns''' are a part of language used to refer to someone or something without using proper nouns. Such as referring to a human or living  thing he/she/they/ze/ve/ey or describing an object, such as it/its.  

Some nonbinary people ask to be called by gender-neutral pronouns. Other nonbinary people ask to be called by "he" or "she" pronouns, some of whom see that as a gender-neutral use of those words. The use of binary pronouns doesn't necessarily mean that someone has a binary gender identity. Some nonbinary people have more than one set of pronouns that they are okay with people using for them. To be clear, all pronouns are gender neutral, society might not see it that way, " he " and " she " are considered gendered pronouns, but anyone can use whatever pronouns they want. A man ( cis or trans ) can use she, they or neopronouns if they want too, a woman ( cis or trans ) can use he, they or neopronouns if they want too.

If you're trans or nonbinary and want to change your pronouns, this is a purely social part of your [[transition]], rather than one using paperwork. First, you should put some thought into choosing pronouns that feel satisfactory to you. Research and experiment to find out what feels right. Next, you need to tell other people. As a part of social transition, you need cooperation from other people in order to be called by the pronouns you want, so it's important to keep your composure as well as stay firm. You can help remind people of your pronouns by wearing them on a badge or writing them in your social media profile.
