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 âhe/himâ and âshe/herâ, so we automatically assume which one to call them based on someone's looks. But it's actually not that simpleâŠ
Gender is complicated. Some people âdon't look likeâ their gender. Some prefer being called in a different way from what you'd assume. Some people don't fit into the boxes of âmaleâ or âfemaleâ 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 âSamanthaâ just because you like that name more or because âshe looks like a Samantha to youâ. Or even if she does have the name âSamanthaâ in her birth certificate but she absolutely hates it and prefers to use âAshleyâ. And it's the exact same story with pronouns â 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!
