Additional Resources

What additional resources and links can help me?

Please note that no resource is perfect or comprehensive, including this website. We encourage you to review many resources, and to really get to know and converse with trans people and gender nonconforming people whose lives are impacted by pronouns more profoundly than for most. Since asking personal questions of acquaintances in order to educate yourself might be a bad idea, and places a burden on already marginalized populations, a good way to learn can be through texts and videos, such as the ones below. 

Wikipedia maintains several excellent articles related to personal pronouns:

• Pronoun

• English Personal Pronouns

• Singular They

• Third Person Pronoun

There are many products, such as stickers, buttons, and name tags that can help people share their pronouns.

Once you’ve learned some things about pronouns and you’re ready to educate others, you might want to participate in International Pronouns Day.

Here are some videos that help to explain personal pronouns and trans/genderqueer identity:
