We’ve all heard someone say it; that introduction where they not only share their name, but also their pronouns. “Hi, my name is Alex, and my pronouns are they/them,” or something of that nature. But what does it matter? And what exactly are pronouns? Pronoun usage isn’t new, nor is the use of ‘they’ in the singular as a gender-nonspecific identifier (which dates back to the 13th century – just ask Chaucer and Shakespeare). What is new is the inclusion of pronouns as part of introductions, and in email and various online platforms like LinkedIn, which is where the confusion lies. He/She/They/Hey! Understanding the Why and How of Pronouns is designed to help people understand what pronouns are, and more importantly, how to use them inclusively in order to create space where people can be themselves. Leveraging content from his best-selling book Alphabet Soup: The Essential Guide to LGBTQ2+ Inclusion, Michael Bach takes participant on a learning journey to understand the importance of pronoun identification in maintaining 2sLGBTQI+ inclusive spaces.
