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 challenging gender stereotypes

• It’s easier than you think, and you may be surprised by how many gender neutral words you already use!

ACKNOWLEDGE AND CELEBRATE DATES OF SIGNIFICANCE LIKE WEAR IT PURPLE

• Post about them on social media with links to LGBTQIA+ groups like GASP & Minus 18

• Ask your school to recognise the days

• Check in with your queer friends around dates of significance

LEARN MORE ABOUT DIFFERENT GENDERS AND SEXUALITIES

• Having more knowledge about the different gender and sexual identities will mean you don’t have to ask uncomfortable questions and will be better able to support your queer mates by understanding their identity

• Using correct language and terms shows support and respect for LGBTQIA+ people
