"They/Them" is a set of pronouns used by some individuals who identify as non-binary or genderqueer. This means they do not exclusively identify as male or female. Using "they/them" pronouns helps to respect and affirm their identity, allowing them to express themselves in a way that feels comfortable and authentic.
When someone prefers "they/them" pronouns, it’s important to use these terms in conversation. For example, instead of saying "he is going to the store," you would say "they are going to the store." This small change can make a big difference in showing respect for their identity and promoting inclusivity in our communities, like schools and workplaces.
