Pronouns are one of the most basic forms of showing basic dignity and respect to others. When our pronouns are respected and adhered to, we feel seen, validated, and included. This is especially important to non-binary people and those who don’t identify with “male” or “female”. For non-binary people, most of their life has been a long and painful road to acceptance and happiness, feeling like outsiders who don’t feel like they belong in this world. There is very little representation of non-binary people in media, such as film and television, and non-binary often fail to see positive representations if themselves reflected in the culture.
