Tips for Practicing Using Affirming Pronouns

Chris Talbot-Heindl

Creator

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

"But I didn't MEAN to insult you!" This comic is meant to help nonbinary individuals and their friends and family have better relationships.

This is a non-fiction comic that explores real life scenarios that were hurtful to real life nonbinary individuals (scenarios have happened to real people who have submitted them for this project). Chris explains why it was hurtful and how people could have done better to make their nonbinary friends and family feel seen, heard, and affirmed.
