Understanding the Importance of Pronouns
Let’s be real: pronouns aren’t difficult. We use them all day, every day, without even thinking about it. What is hard—apparently—is unpacking why some people cling to outdated habits instead of making a small effort to validate another human being.
Adjusting takes seconds. Respect lasts forever.
This isn’t about grammar. It’s about choice. Choosing to acknowledge someone’s humanity. Choosing to listen when they tell you who they are. Choosing growth over comfort.
The Resistance to Change
So maybe the real question isn’t about pronouns at all. Maybe it’s about why you’re so resistant to change, and why someone else’s existence feels like a threat to yours.
Because here’s the truth: respecting pronouns isn’t just an act of kindness—it’s the bare minimum of human decency.
The Impact of Pronouns on Identity
When we respect pronouns, we affirm identities. This simple act can have a profound impact on someone's sense of self. It shows that we see them, hear them, and value their existence.
For many, pronouns are deeply tied to their identity. Using the correct pronouns can help create a safe space where individuals feel accepted and understood.
Creating Visibility Through Clothing
At Found Her Voice, we believe in the power of clothing to make a statement. Our designs are developed from our lived experiences. They challenge outdated beliefs and push back against harmful narratives.
Clothing can be a form of self-expression. It can create visibility and challenge the boxes we’re told to fit into. When you wear what you believe in, you participate in the change you want to see in the world.
Join the Movement
We are looking to build a community of queer folks that want to use their voice for change. Do you want to hope for change or participate in the change? Our mission goes beyond just apparel; it’s about self-expression, resistance, and pride.
Wear what you believe in. Join us!
Conclusion
Respecting pronouns is not just about language; it’s about humanity. It’s about recognizing and affirming each other’s identities. By embracing change, we foster a more inclusive world.
Let’s choose growth over comfort. Let’s choose to respect each other. Together, we can create a community that celebrates diversity and promotes understanding.
