Respect is customary within academia and health care. It starts with introductions and is applied with cultural humility and community competency on a consistent basis of learning and reflection to build trust and increase wellness.

Pronouns & Inclusive Language

Save time with over 240 carefully styled components designed to showcase your content

Pronouns are the way that we refer to people in place of their name or in third person (referring to that person while talking to someone else). When you use someone's correct pronouns, it serves to create an inclusive environment where you demonstrate that you care for and respect them.

If you don't know what pronouns someone uses, you can do one of three things:

  • Use "They": Use singular "they/them/theirs" for this person until you have the opportunity to ask about their pronouns.
  • Ask!: It's perfectly acceptable to ask someone what pronouns they use.
  • Use their name: Use their name until you learn their pronouns.

Actively choosing to not use the pronouns someone has shared that they go by is harassment and implies that intersex, transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people do not or should not exist.

• Hidden forms of bias with unintended consequences can lead to microaggressions. How might the biases you've discovered lead to these unintended microagressions?

• Do you think microaggressions are different than incivility for people of color and other systemically marginalized groups?

• How might your worldview or lived experiences contribute your perspectives?

Inclusive Intake forms

There are many possible ways to make questionnaires or intake forms inclusive when asking LGBTQ+ demographic questions.

The language used to ask questions and elicit responses is not static; as with any language, this too evolves over time.

It is important to re-evaluate your questionnaires each time they are redistributed and to periodically audit your intake forms to make sure they are evolving too.
