This Trans Awareness Week, Just Like Us ambassador Tallulah Guard urges people to “consider pronouns and misgendering in a different light”.
WORDS BY TALLULAH GUARD HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN If I had a pound for every time I told someone that I use they/them pronouns, my coffee shop habit would be funded for life.
If I got a bonus pound for every time someone got my pronouns wrong, I’d be well on my way to the purchase of an industrial espresso machine.
Misgendering – others describing you with gendered language that doesn’t fit – is part of most transgender and non-binary people’s lives.
