Preferred Pronouns

Definition

Refers to the pronoun that a person prefers to be associated with. The sharing or display of pronouns as a way to show others that they will respect everyone’s pronouns; in other words, displaying their pronouns is a way to let others know (especially LGBTQ+ folks) that they will create a safe space for any LGBTQ+ folks around them. If you are unclear about a person’s pronouns, ask them and then make a conscious effort to learn and use them.
