As people are evolving—both individually and as a society—language, too, continues to evolve. And one of the most-exciting ways language has progressed is through the use and understanding of gender-neutral pronouns.
According to the LGBTQIA+ Resource Center at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, gender-neutral pronouns are “inclusive pronouns that do not associate any gender with the individual being discussed.” These are different than he/his and she/hers pronouns, which are specifically gendered pronouns.
Now before we dive deeper into the subject and what gender-neutral pronouns are like, it is important to know that learning, using, and respecting someone’s pronouns are a necessary part of daily interaction.
So, whether you personally have gender-neutral pronouns, are trying to figure out which pronoun(s) are best for you, or are looking to be a better ally, you have come to the right place. With the help of some experts, we are breaking down everything you need to know about gender-neutral pronouns.
