    It’s International Pronouns Day (21st October), which seeks to make sharing and respecting personal pronouns commonplace.

    I have noticed that stating pronouns in email signatures, etc. is becoming more common in my workplace.

    This is great. It is sad that we have to work at normalizing respecting people but I am glad that it is being worked on.

    My therapist put her pronouns in her email, but she works with members of the queer community, so that's not surprising.

    An episode of Craig of the Creek had a character casually asking about another character's pronouns, which is the kind of thing I think will help normalize this question.
