To me using the right pronouns when referring to someone is really important. I don't want to offend anyone by mislabelling them.


I use they/them pronouns

What about you guys?

Hi @redheaded,

I use "he" or "she" unless someone asks me to use something else, in which case I am perfectly happy to do that. Sometimes it can feel awkward on the forum if I don't know a person's gender. I think with most people, I have deduced their gender over time, although a couple of times I have had to ask someone because I simply didn't know. I am a "she" by the way. What pronoun do you prefer people to use when referring to you @redheaded???

@Phoenix_Rising I prefer people to use they/them when referring to me. Sorry my post was vague.
