Correct mistakes gracefully

If you misgender someone: apologise briefly, correct yourself and make sure not to do it again.
mediatrust.bsky.social
Use gender-neutral language

When unsure, use “they/them,” role titles (“chairperson” instead of “chairman”) and neutral greetings (“team” instead of “guys”).
mediatrust.bsky.social
Normalise asking

Train teams to ask, “What pronouns do you use?” instead of assuming.
mediatrust.bsky.social
Share yours

Include your pronouns in your email signature, Slack profile, Zoom display name and social bios.
