Hmmm shouldn’t we be using his name Elliot in the thread title?
you can change it.I was going to but wasn’t sure people would know who it was about at first glance, which is why I put it in “”. But yes change it!

I thought that’s why you used Ellen indeed. Either way I don’t actually know the right way to refer to his former name.I was going to but wasn’t sure people would know who it was about at first glance, which is why I put it in “”. But yes change it!
'Thread Tools' just above the first post. It took me ages to find it the first time tooIt’s done now but for future reference how do we do this? I can never see how...
I believe you can use either, and that the person is non-binary but may be more comfortable at the male end of the spectrum.When someone says the pronouns are “he/they” what does that mean? Is it a common combination? Can I use either?
(Genuine question - I wouldn’t dream of going against someone’s pronounces).
I've started a new topic on the issue.Today has been a bit of a shit day for Trans kids with the High Court ruling so this was a nice bit of positive news.

I had someone at work the other day who I suspected was non binary (I later found out they were). I found it really difficult because I also wouldn't want to go against someone's pronouns, but equally I didn't know if it was my place to ask them.
This is part of the reason why we should normalise stating our pronouns, isn’t it?
I updated my work email signature only yesterday to state mine, pretty much for that exact reason. Well, and after overhearing a pretty reactionary discussion among a group of GPs earlier in the day which made me think it very much needs to be done.

What did you add into your signature? Is it just your title? I must check our system tomorrow but I don't recall even seeing an option for titles aside from the 'standard' ones. Even just an Mx title for example would give me a heads up.
TERF Conspiracy Twitter going nuts, including claims that "big pharma" have paid Page to do this today as he's stealing the headlines from their supposed "victory" in court (see other thread). Thick bastards. I hate Britain.
I have people who can’t even pronounce my name after knowing me for 10 years. I just couldn’t be bothered to correct them so just go with whateverI don't list personal pronouns in email because I couldn't give a flying fuck what you call me.
Eh-leeI have people who can’t even pronounce my name after knowing me for 10 years. I just couldn’t be bothered to correct them so just go with whatever
Mine says:
*Name* (He/Him/His) | *Job Title*
*School Name*
It's raised a couple of questions - but it's been really positive having those conversations with people that wouldn't normally have them.
Only family actually call me Ellie.Eh-lee
Hmm. I made reference directly to 'preferred pronouns', but I'm wondering now if I shouldn't. Well you know, not really 'shouldn't', but just if not directly referencing it at all makes a stronger case for normalising it.
