You can even ask when starting a chat, “Hey! Just making sure, before we get talking, what are your pronouns?”.
If someone tells you/lists their pronouns on an app, use them even if you're not sure they're being genuine.
We know that mental health and physical and sexual health are interlinked, so that small act could have roll-on effects in helping support them as a whole person. Something as simple as validating the person in front of you and acknowledging them appropriately can make such a difference. Like you’ve said, we should be respecting all people’s pronouns.
The very, very short answer is to ask them.Īt the end of the day, it’s about respecting people who have historically been discriminated against and denied the basic rights that cisgender people (someone whose gender matches the sex they were assigned at birth) afford themselves.
