What’s the best way to tell someone your pronouns at work?

• The answer is clear, straightforward, and casual — in the same way you’d share what region or city you live in.
• In-person, share them with your basic intro. “Hey! My name is Lily Zheng. I use they/them pronouns, and I’m a diversity, equity, and inclusion strategist living on Muwekma Ohlone land in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
• Online, including in email signatures, you can include your pronouns (typically in the format of “X/X” or “X/X/X” (e.g. “she/her” or “she/her/hers”).
• When it comes to asking someone their pronouns, it can get more complicated, as most people don’t ask everyone their pronouns  — most people only tend to ask visibly transgender or gender-nonconforming people.
• The advice here is to focus instead on always introducing yourself with your pronouns. If the individual you meet feels comfortable doing so, they may share their pronouns with you.
• For all people who have not shared their pronouns with you, commit to using singular “they” until you learn their pronouns.
