Hi everyone, my name is Hannah Brennan. My pronouns are she/her and I’m a year 13student. I want to tell you a bit about gender expression so everyone is more aware!Many people today express themselves through gender identities. Here are a few of them,but not all, because gender is a wide spectrum.Someone who identifies as transgender identifies as the opposite gender that they wereassigned at birth. A cis-gender person is someone who identifies as the original gender theywere given at birth. Someone who is non-binary or gender fluid is someone that sits outside,within, across or between the labels ‘male’ and ‘female’.Now, there are several ways a person can express their identity but the main one ispronouns! Pronouns are the terms you use to refer to someone, for example, she/her,he/him, they/them etc. Many people are used to using she/her or he/him pronouns but alot of people feel more comfortable using pronouns such as she/they and he/them. It isreally important that if someone is using she/they or he/they pronouns, that you respectthat person’s pronouns because they are just as valid as yours or anyone elses!Sam Smith identifies as they/themElliot Page (Formerly Ellen Page)identifies as he/him, they/them
Eddie Izzard identifies as she/herA simple and easy example of using they/them pronouns are “They have the coolest hair,make sure to tell them I said Hi!’ It’s okay to be confused about pronouns, just make sureyou are respectful of someone no matter what they identify as.How to help and be an Ally!An ally is a non-member of the LGBTQ+ community who supports members of thecommunity regardless. You can support them by always listening, you might not know whatwords to use but by listening you are reminding them that they are supported and valid. It isalso important to not just educate yourself, but others around you like friends and family, toincrease the awareness about gender identity and pronouns.The most important thing you can do is treat everyone in the LGBTQ+ community with loveand respect. Treat them no different because they are exactly the same as you and I. We’reall human!Never be afraid to be who you are,be yourself and be loud about it!!By Hannah Brennan, Year 13
