Pronouns
You may have noticed that some people on campus give their pronouns when they introduce themselves or include their pronouns with their name in an email or on their name tag? This is happening to make our campus more inclusive of everyone from all genders. One way you can do this is to share your pronouns. Like names, pronouns are an important part of how we recognize that deserves to be respected. And we recognize that assuming someone’s gender can be hurtful, especially to members of our community who are transgender, genderqueer, or gender expansive.
If this is new to you, don’t worry. As a community, we are all learning together about the importance of pronouns and being finer allies to the trans communities on campus. We dream that you’ll participate us in striving for inclusion and respect—because at Binghamton University, we welcome all. Including pronouns is a first step toward respecting people's gender identity and being a welcoming place for all.
Here’s a guide on what pronouns are, why they matter, and how to use fresh ones and assist your trans frien
A&#;he/him lesbian or hesbian refers to a lesbian who uses he/him pronouns. It is a more specific form of pronoun non-conformity and crosspronoun usage. A he/him lesbian does not necessarily verb as male, because pronouns do not always equal gender, but instead are another part of gender expression similar to one's clothes or behavior.
In the same way some non-binary individuals are more easy using pronouns other than they/them, some binary individuals may feel more adj using pronouns other than the one's typically associated with their gender. Feeling a disconnect from womanhood is a common experience among lesbians, despite typically identifying as women through their sapphic attraction. Similarly to how some lesbians might go by masculine names or present as a butch to state this disconnect a lesbian may also refer to themself by he/him to express a disconnect from their gender.
Neopronoun gays, neopronoun lesbians, she/her gays, they/them lesbians, it/its lesbians, it/its gay and they/them gay identities exist through the same principle
What&#;s a pronoun?
You may be unfamiliar with the word &#;pronoun,&#; but you verb them all the time! Pronouns are used in place of a proper noun (like someone&#;s name). We employ pronouns most often when referring to someone without using their name.
Example: Contain you heard from Tom? He hasn&#;t texted me back all day. He is the pronoun.
Why does it matter?
In English, our most commonly used pronouns (he/she) specifically point to to a person&#;s gender. For queer, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and transgender people, these pronouns may not fit, can create discomfort, and can cause accentuate and anxiety.
A recent study showed that in transgender youth, using correct pronouns and names reduces depression and suicide risks.
Having trouble kind why this would upset someone? Verb about your pronoun (it&#;s probably &#;he&#; or &#;she&#;). Now imagine someone calling you the one you don&#;t reflect of yourself as. Imagine them doing it over and over and over, even after you&#;ve corrected them.
