Quora question: # How can education about gender and pronouns be improved to reduce resistance and misunderstanding? My answer: Education about gender and pronouns can be improved by **acknowledging that third-person pronouns in English correspond directly to gender**; specifically, to how the speaker perceives the referrent’s gender. [...] Many “trans rights activists” try to push through “respect people’s pronouns” as an unquestionable axiom, the root cause of disrespect when someone doesn’t do that is **misgendering**: i.e. being referred to as the wrong gender. And for using the wrong pronouns to be considered misgendering, **pronouns *must necessarily* correspond to gender.** It’s important, so I’ll say it again: **for using the wrong pronouns to be considered misgendering, pronouns must necessarily correspond to gender.**

Denying what pronouns are and do makes it untenable that using the wrong pronouns is misgendering. #transgender #transsexual #gender #InclusiveLanguage #English #education #EnglishEducation #ESL #TransRights #pronouns www.quora.com/How-can-educ...
