BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â Every person has different pronouns, and 7 Eyewitness News is working to help you understand pronouns, with a Pride guide on how to use inclusive language.
If you have questions on how to use pronouns correctly, the UW-Milwaukee LGBT Resource Center and GLSEN through GLYS WNY have some answers to some frequently asked questions.
Firstly, what is a gender pronoun?: A gender pronoun is the pronoun that a person uses for themself.
Why is it important to respect someone s pronouns?: You can never tell what someone s pronouns are just by looking at them. The resource center says the best way to show respect for someone s gender identity is by asking and using their correct identity. Using someone s incorrect pronoun might make them feel disrespected, invalidated, dismissed, alienated, or dysphoric (often all of the above).
