Welcome to pronouns.page!
We're creating a source of information about nonbinary and gender neutral language.
We're celebrating/commemorating:

What's the deal with pronouns?
Pronouns are those words that we use instead of calling someone by their name every time we mention them. Most people use “he/him” and “she/her”, so we automatically assume which one to call them based on someone's looks. But it's actually not that simple…
Gender is complicated. Some people “don't look like” their gender. Some prefer being called in a different way from what you'd assume. Some people don't fit into the boxes of “male” or “female” and prefer more neutral language.
This tool lets you share a link to your pronouns, with example sentences, so that you can show people how you like to be called.
Why does it matter? Because of simple human decency. You wouldn't call Ashley “Samantha” just because you like that name more or because “she looks like a Samantha to you”. Or even if she does have the name “Samantha” in her birth certificate but she absolutely hates it and prefers to use “Ashley”. And it's the exact same story with pronouns – if you don't want to be rude towards someone, please address them properly. The only difference is that we usually know names, but not pronouns. We introduce ourselves with a name, but not pronouns. Let's change that!
You can use this website to create a personal, multi-lingual card with your names, pronouns, identity words, pride flags, etc. – which you then can link in your bio or email footer. It's a simple way to let people know how they should refer to you!
Our mission
We fight for freedom, respect and inclusivity in language.
- Freedom – so that everyone can use for themselves whatever pronouns they feel describe them best.
- Respect – so that other people's pronouns are respected.
- Inclusivity – so that when we're referring to a person we don't know or a group of people, we don't assume their gender and don't exclude them for any reason.
