HISTORY
On July 14th, 2020, International Non-Binary People's Day,
Queery relaunched its #queerypronounchallenge encouraging people to post their pronouns on their social media pages, Zoom accounts and in their email signatures.
We do this to normalize the use of all pronouns.

Email Signature
Why is this important?
This primary violence prevention strategy of sharing your pronouns digitally is an easy way to show support to those who identify within the TGNCNB communities.
Sharing your pronouns in your bio and email signatures create a more inclusive environment for others. Would't you want your friends, consumers, clients, and colleagues to feel just as comfortable about sharing their pronouns as you do?
If can also assist people who are new to sharing pronouns get more comfortable doing so.
