I work remotely and I had somebody show me around and stopped abruptly and they fell into them to ask me about my pronouns because they were so worried because they keep calling me Tasha. So they basically thought that my pronouns meant instead of my name

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So I want to agree with Joe, who said this, that and the other. Now how does they and them come into that? I feel kind of bit awkward now putting it this way. But the only way I'm going to learn. I have a long history in my life as a training manager in more than one organization. But in one organization in particular, London Transport. You've probably heard of it

So that might be helpful for you, but also just even just Googling like a guide to them. Pronouns can help and help you find resources online just to give you a bit more of a broad range of things more than someone can share in five minutes, I guess. But yeah, so they then pronouns. We use them instead of he or she. And they're really good actually, for using neutral language

So if somebody identifies, for example, as a male, I have actually seen this when people are a male, but are then called a female, so referred to as she and I've seen it the other way around where a female is referred to as a he, and they get quite offended because that's not who they are. Somebody has misinterpreted their gender, and I feel like this is kind of like the same as names. I think that our pronouns are as personal as our names
