|   - pronoun | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| a word that substitutes for a noun, in particular, a person's name; a person's pronouns does not necessarily align with their gender presentation or their gender identity; a person gets to say what pronouns they and others use to refer to them; pronouns can be fluid based on context and presentation and change over time. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Issues | ||||
| Preferred pronoun can imply that this is merely what is _preferred_ rather than what is _real_. Using this can reinforce the idea that someone's pronouns are a choice rather than what is true for them or it's merely a preference and that you can use whatever pronouns you'd like for them. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Impact | ||||
| Preferred pronouns can delegitimise pronouns of trans and non-binary people in particular, especially when their pronouns are wrongly assumed to be different than they are or [neopronouns](definitions/neopronouns) that are less commonly known. Delegitimising their pronouns delegitimes aspects of their identity, reinforces transmisia and non-binary erasure, and leads to harm against them. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Usage Tip | ||||
|  | ||||
| Use [pronouns](definitions/pronouns) instead. | ||||
