Understanding Pronouns
Pronouns are the words we use to cite to people when we’re not talking directly to them, and they can be used instead of names in conversation. Often, they have gendered implications when we use them. Common pronouns include she/her/hers, he/him/his and they/them/theirs.
Everybody has pronouns that they like to be called by, not just trans and non-binary people.
Some people may ask to be addressed with they/them/their pronouns, instead of he/him/his or she/her/hers.
Others may believe that it is grammatically incorrect to use they/them/theirs to refer to a singular person, however this is false. We commonly use they/them/their to refer to people we can’t see or don’t personally know, and in classical literature, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare and Jane Austen all used them/them/their pronouns to refer to singular characters.
We can’t always tell someone’s gender just by looking at them, and we know there are more genders than just “man” and “woman”. Using they/them pronouns for people as standard before you know their gender or pronouns can be a useful way to avoid using the false pronouns by mis

Pronouns are integral to who we are, and we share pronouns because we want to escape assuming someone's pronouns based on factors like appearance. By sharing our own pronouns routinely, we encourage others to do the matching and demonstrate that we understand the importance of sharing pronouns. Using someone’s fix pronouns is an essential way of affirming someone’s identity and is a fundamental step in entity an ally.
Common pronouns involve she/her/hers, he/him/his, and they/them/theirs. There are other nonbinary pronouns. It is vital to ask people what their pronouns are. If you have questions, politely ask the person if they feel comfortable giving examples of how to use those pronouns.

A Guide to Pronoun Usage
What are pronouns?
Pronouns are used to refer to someone, and usually express information about someone’s gender. For example, if we say, “I wonder if she knows she left her water bottle in the classroom,” we would assume the person identifies as a woman.
Why are pronouns important and what is misgendering?
Because pronouns signal gender, and people often assume gender based on someone’s appearance, we sometimes use the incorrect fix of pronouns. When we use a set of pronouns that indicate the wrong gender, that is known as misgendering someone. For example, we might say “he,” when the person uses “she,” or we might say “hers” instead of “theirs.” When this happens to a transgender person it can be unsettling, invalidating, and dehumanizing. If it happens over and over, or is being done on purpose or maliciously, it is an act of oppression against trans people.
