Changing Conversations
We understand and respect the importance of pronouns, but we know that lots of people aren’t sure how to talk about it with other people. Conversations matter, and so in order to aid successful conversations about pronouns we have created these phrases to help.
Why do pronouns matter?
You will never know someone’s pronoun by simply looking at them. Using someone’s correct personal pronoun shows respect for their gender identity. When you refer to someone using the wrong pronoun, this can cause feelings of exclusion and distress.
Pronoun badges to spark off conversations around gender diversity
We have launched a collection promoting gender diversity and the use of gender pronouns.
The badges are part of a collaboration with celebrated art illustrator Rebecca Strickson, who uses her art to promote important messages on social issues. The new collection ‘Pronouns Matter’ features pin badges, embroidered patches, notebooks and art prints all raising vital funds for Think2Speak’s work with transgender children and young people.
