Last week the North Shore Pride Blog centered on the Transgender experience, defining terms and drawing attention to some of the more common myths about Transgender individuals. Click here to read “The T in LGBTQ Stands for Transgender.”
This week, the focus will be on pronouns, specifically what they are and how they are used.
The basics of good allyship when it comes to pronouns, what it means to “misgender” someone, and what to do if you make a mistake will be explained next week in part 2.
A Primer on Pronouns
NBC News released an article yesterday declaring that 1 in 4 LGBTQ+ youths use non-binary1 pronouns. The study determined that “They/them” is the most popular non-binary option, but 4 percent of those surveyed report using other, lesser known pronouns like e/em and ze/zir.
But what does this even mean? Well, let’s break it down.
The pronouns people are most familiar with are the individual feminine she/her, the individual masculine he/him, and the plural they/them.
Some examples include:
“My sister, she told me this morning…”
“My husband when he came home yesterday…”
“The Jacksons are traveling to Chicago next week, they are planning to take the dog…”
The pronouns – she, he, and they respectively – refer to the human(s) doing the thing in the sentence. Pronouns exist because it can be tedious referring to someone’s name whenever you’re talking about them. For example, it would be strange for someone to say something like this: “Janice was feeding Janice’s cat yesterday when Janice heard a knock at the door.”
But many LGBTQ+ individuals no longer feel represented by traditional she/her or he/him individual pronouns. There are many reasons for this, but one of the more common reasons is that for someone whose gender is non-binary, being referred to as “she” or “he” when they don’t identify as male or female just isn’t correct.
English has evolved to include additional pronouns3 including:
- They, Them, Their (Singular)2
- E, Em, Eir
- Zi (or Z), Zim, Zeir
- Xi, Xim, Zeir
Because of this, when meeting someone new, it’s important to ask someone what their pronouns are. This is one of the basics of good allyship which the Blog will cover in more detail next week in A Short Guide to Pronouns Part 2: Allyship, Misgendering, and Making Mistakes.
Notes:
1 – A Non-binary person is an individual who doesn’t fall under the binary model of gender. To read more about gender identities, check out “The T in LGBTQ stands for Transgender.”
2 – This is not a comprehensive list.
3 – The Oxford English Dictionary traces the origin of the singular “they” back to the 14th century, but while that’s technically true, the widespread usage of the “they” to describe a single person who doesn’t use she/her or he/him pronouns is much more recent.

I think what you wrote made a bunch of sense. But, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier title? I am not suggesting your information is not good, but suppose you added a title that makes people want more? I mean Three facing charges after traffic stop nets 20 pounds of Kush worth over $26,000 804ENT.COM is kinda plain. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write post titles to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
