PREFACE

Our societal knowledge of gender expansive communities (e.g, transgender,


nonbinary) has increased in the recent past. One aspect that people may struggle
with is the ability to communicate appropriately when using newer, or variations of
gendered pronouns. If pronoun are used incorrectly; whether intentional or not, it
may cause harm and feelings of disrepect and exclusion

WHY ARE PRONOUNS IMPORTANT?

In conversations, people will refer to other people by using pronouns instead of


their name. The pronouns “he and she “have an implied gender for men or women,
respectively. Often times people assumptions about gender identities rather than a
binary, man or woman identity. It is important to steer away from making
assumptions about a person’s gender identity, because assuming someone’s
gender is pontentially harmful practice that sends the message that is supposed to
be represented in a certain way.

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to the glory of the Almighty God.
