Guide to pronouns

When we talk about pronouns, we refer to gender pronouns, such as she/her, he/him, and they/them. Our participants will use these and other pronouns and may use multiple pronouns. It is important to try to get someone’s pronouns right to provide a transgender-inclusive setting. People’s pronouns might not match the pronouns you expect them to use based on their appearance or behaviour, so it is best to ask what their pronouns are or see it from a pronoun sticker or badge. If you are not used to using they/them pronouns, this might be something you could practise before the event. Here are some guides:
