Did you know using someone’s preferred pronouns can help prevent suicide? I find myself feeling deeply unseen lately, as I have changed and people’s attachment to my old self is still present. I affirm that as a transfem body, my dead pronouns of he/him/his are just as important as my dead name. Misgendering is synonymous to being referred to as the incorrect name. Period. It won’t be a perfect process, but you can practice. A change in pronouns is another expression of someone coming out. But note, gender expression and sexuality share a dance, so assuming they are one in the same is violent towards the LGBTQ+ community and those yearning to open such identities within themselves. Practice asking pronouns after names when meeting new people or in groups.
