vendingmachine commented on the word misgendering
Gender Identity Activists believe you should declare your preferred pronouns, for instance, in your email signature or when you meet a colleague for the first time to avoid "misgendering people" and thus to show how kind, respectful, and inclusive you are. They argue that by taking (what appears to be) a simple and painless action, you can demonstrate that you are an ally to trans and non-binary people and normalise discussions related to gender identity. --J. Stein
