ACTIVELY USE PRONOUNS

• Actively use your pronouns when introducing yourself, and add to email signatures & social media. Pronouns aren’t just for gender diverse people, everyone can use them and normalise using them in day to day life.

• Respectfully ask others their pronouns

USE GENDER NEUTRAL LANGUAGE

• By using gender neutral language you are being more inclusive of diverse people and also changeling gender stereotypes

• Its easier then you think and you will be surprised by how much gender neutral words you already you.

ACKNOWLEDGE AND CELEBRATE DAYS OF SIGNIFICANCE LIKE WEAR IT PURPLE

• Ask your school to recognise the days

• check in with your queer friends around dates of significance
