Tips for Practicing Using Affirming Pronouns
Jul 26, 2021
In one of my nonprofit Facebook groups, someone asked for advice on switching their habits and using someone’s affirming pronouns. First of all, I love that question and that it was asked in this space where normally cisgender people argue against "having to" use affirming pronouns. It’s also a great question that I’ll answer here.

I often refer to people with they them pronouns, even at work, or when I know someone. I will say "I have a customer here asking if their package arrived" or something. And using neutral pronouns becomes a habit so sometimes I even refer to people whose gender and pronouns I do know as they out of habit or if it's not directly central to what I'm communicating
