How Do You Know If You Should Share Your Pronouns? (#78)
Why do some people share their pronouns while others hesitate? And how do you know what’s right for you?
In this episode, I break down why pronoun sharing should never be mandatory, and why it still carries real meaning. We’ll look at how sharing pronouns can signal safety, why it can put some people in difficult positions, and what it communicates when you choose to include them.
If you're a provider or someone who wants to create a more inclusive environment, this episode offers a grounded, practical way to think about pronouns and their role in helping people feel safe.
