Always introduce yourself using pronouns!
Common pronouns
Why is this important?
Kick things off by asking:
“what pronouns do you use?”
Recognize that while this might make some people confused, it’s also
an awesome opportunity
to explain why your doing it, and it will
really mean something to those who have been mis-identified or care
about the issue.
Don’t expect that if you ask once, you’re set forever —
people’s
(gender) identities can change,
so check in.
