Happy International Pronouns Day!

Using the right pronouns is essential in respecting people, and can help trans people feel seen.

Here’s a quick guide to pronouns.

#InternationalPronounDay

What are pronouns?

A word that stands in for a name to avoid constant repetition of that name, often this is gendered.

He/him is often used by men. She/her by women, and they/them pronouns are used by many (but not all) non-binary people. Other non-binary pronouns exist such as ‘ze’, ‘sie’ and ‘co’.

Some people don’t have pronouns and will use their name instead, and some people also have multiple pronouns, like she/they.

Some languages don’t have gendered pronouns at all.

Why is it important to respect pronouns?

It’s important not to assume someone’s pronouns based on their appearance, name or job.

Using the correct pronouns is essential to referring to people correctly and respectfully.

Using the right pronouns will make someone feel seen.

Declaring pronouns can create a safe place and avoids making assumptions. You can do this by using them in email signatures, introductions and meetings.

Are pronouns “for life”?

For some people, pronouns, like gender, aren’t fixed. They can change throughout their life, and sometimes multiple times.

People may also use different pronouns in different spaces, depending on how comfortable they feel.

It's international pronoun day everyone!!

Pronouns are a standard of human language used to help us identify each other and show the world how to correctly address us.

Pronoun usage is not an attack nor is it singling out anyone. It just helps us be more equipped to make our colleagues feel seen.

If we call out your privilege, we're offering you a chance to reflect.

If we call out your remarks, your behaviour or your treatment of others, we're asking you to consider your actions.

Its not an attack. Nobody is perfect. But we all can always be better.

If you aren't growin, you're throwin.

Check in with people and let them know you're thinking of them.

It makes more of a difference than you think.

Research has shown that support from friends, families, and communities can have a huge positive impact on trans people’s mental health.

It’s up to all of us to create the kind of world where trans and non-binary people can thrive.

During a game of PUBG with @bdolan.bsky.social and @divandinc.bsky.social a few weeks back we discovered that Les Claypool from Primus auditioned to be in Metallica before he founded Primus and so I imagined what that might have sounded like... These are those sounds.
