Today is International Pronouns Day! Events are taking place throughout the day!
Today is International Pronouns Day. We seek to make respecting,
sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace.
Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic
to human dignity. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects
transgender and gender nonconforming people. Together, we can transform
society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities.
There are three events today to mark the day.
9am - 10am: "The Gender Identity Training- Respecting
Pronouns" with Professor Erin Morris - Empire Room
The Gender Identity Training: Respecting Pronouns will discuss
how to be more inclusive through our language, focusing on respectful pronoun
use. We will learn basic definitions
around gender identity, gender expression, and pronouns and
why it is important to respect the identities of those around us. In this
training we will also discuss ways in which we can be more inclusive with our
language through avoiding gendered language when in diverse and unknown
settings and practicing proper pronoun use. There will also be time for any
questions you may have.
