Are Pronouns Important?

Gray Crosbie, Lawrence Chaney, Katy Montgomerie and Victor Lockhart discuss the importance of pronouns to gender identity.

Tricky is the place to discuss difficult questions away from the bear pit of social media.

Gray Crosbie (they/them), Lawrence Chaney (she/her), Katy Montgomerie (she/her) and Victor Lockhart (he/him) discuss the importance of pronouns.

Our panel represent a diverse range of gender identities, including trans men and women and non- binary. For all them being addressed with the correct pronoun, be it he, she or they is a basic demonstration of respect and acceptance.

So how do they handle it when people get it wrong; is it worse when someone deliberately misgenders them as an attack, or when it happens accidentally in day to day life?
