Title
zie/zir
Description
White circular badge with black text reading "zie/zir".
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 zie/zir as alternatives.
Zie and zir can be used as follows: "This is Yasmin, zie is giving us a tour of the museum. I have learned a lot from listening to zir talk."
