One thought on “What if I don’t know someone’s pronoun?”
Arti says:
Instead, use the gender-neutral ‘they’ until you know otherwise. If you don’t know a fewone’s pronoun the most important thing is never to presume. By using a fewone’s correct pronouns, you’re respecting their identity, and avoiding unnecessary potential hurt. Avoid gender-specific language like ‘those guys over there’. The reason pronouns matter is pretty simple.
