Pronouns are small words that make a big difference to inclusion for LGBTIQA+ people, especially those who identify as trans, gender diverse, or non-binary.
International Pronouns Day seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Sometimes sharing pronouns can feel awkward or even intimidating – but by proactively sharing your own pronouns you can make a big difference to the inclusion of LGBTIQA+ communities.
Consider adding your pronouns to your social media bios and email signatures as a simple but powerful gesture of allyship to our LGBTIQA+ friends, colleagues, and family members.
International Pronouns Day is about celebrating how far we have come, in seeking to make sharing pronouns commonplace. Together, we can transform society to celebrate people's multiple, intersecting identities.
