Title
Co
Description
White circular badge reading 'Co'.
Pronoun badges are used to indicate how people should refer to you in conversation. Using the right pronouns for a person is important, and this can be significant for transgender and nonbinary people, or other gender nonconforming people. The most commonly used pronouns in English are he/him, she/her or they/them. Other people might use a mixed set like she/they. Some transgender and nonbinary people don't feel that pre-existing pronouns express their gender accurately and have developed neopronouns like co as alternatives.
Co can be used as follows: "This is Taylor. Co is a history student and co is visiting the museum to learn about protests."
