What’s the best way to tell someone your pronouns at work?
-The answer is clear, straightforward, and casual — in the same way you’d share what region or city you live in.
- In-person, share them with your basic intro. “Hey! My name is Lily Zheng. I use they/them pronouns, and I’m a diversity, equity, and inclusion strategist living on Muwekma Ohlone land in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
- Online, including in email signatures, you can include your pronouns (typically in the format of “X/X” or “X/X/X” (e.g. “she/her” or “she/her/hers”).
- When it comes to asking someone their pronouns, it can get more complicated, as most people don’t ask everyone their pronouns — most people only tend to ask visibly transgender or gender-nonconforming people.
- The advice here is to focus instead on always introducing yourself with your pronouns. If the individual you meet feels comfortable doing so, they may share their pronouns with you.
- For all people who have not shared their pronouns with you, commit to using singular “they” until you learn their pronouns.
…
If people share that they use multiple sets of pronouns, make your best efforts to use the different sets they’ve shared. If you feel comfortable, you can ask them whether they prefer others using different pronouns within the same conversation (e.g. “I was talking to her the other day. They told me…”) or changing pronoun sets across different conversations (e.g. Conversation 1: “I was talking to her the other day. She told me…”; Conversation 2: “They mentioned that to me before! They were saying…”).

Wrong! They is plural, never singular, unless they has a multiple personality disorder.
If I ever have to officially declare my pronouns, mine will be “whatever you use is wrong/that’s offensive/hostile workplace.”
