Stickers are a cheaper option than buttons, although they can’t be reused. I’ve done this before for an event, and it saved money and was lots of fun! Plus, now we own a button maker! Other options include buying a button maker (they’re about $130 online) and making a bunch of buttons yourself. There are lots of sites online where you can get custom buttons made, and I especially recommend you check out companies run by trans people for this! You can also order sets of pronoun buttons online, instead of having a design custom-made for your event. I’ve definitely gone to events where I wasn’t sure if it was safe to be openly nonbinary, and then later elected to grab a “they/them” button after I felt more comfortable. Folks who aren’t sure if they’ll feel safe, and closeted folks.(Be sure to let people change the name on their badge the day-of!) For example, someone who publicly comes out as trans after registering might now have a different name and use different pronouns.

People whose pronouns change between registration and the event.They can’t necessarily know which pronouns they’ll use at the day of the event, and they might change the ones they use throughout the day. Genderfluid folks, who might use different pronouns at different times.This helps a bunch of different people, including: Instead, provide stickers or pinback buttons or something that they can apply themselves the day of the event. It’s totally appropriate to ask attendees for pronouns when they register, but don’t print them on their name tags or badges ahead of time. Don’t refer to pronouns as “preferred” at any point during your event, otherwise people are likely to get the idea that it’s optional to respect the pronouns of other people My pronouns aren’t a preference, they’re my pronouns. Note: they’re not “preferred pronouns,” they’re just pronouns. You’re going to have to do some educational work with your attendees and other folks running the event. So I just provide some buttons that have some pronouns and I’m good, right?ĭefinitely not. It also makes it very clear to attendees that anti-transgender bigotry won’t be tolerated. When everyone at an event has a pronoun button, no one needs to assume anyone else’s pronouns, and that’s a good thing.Īlso, supplying pronoun buttons makes it very clear that trans inclusion is important to your conference and that people will be supported when we need to be gendered correctly. In addition, when trans and enby folks are pressured to disclose our status (as can happen when we are misgendered), it opens us up to potential emotional, mental, and physical harm. It’s not right or good to assume someone’s pronouns, as getting them wrong can cause physical and social dysphoria. If everyone wears them, it helps remind attendees that pronouns shouldn’t be assumed, and that we should respect the pronouns other people use. Simple, it helps us trans and non binary people to be safe. Many trans and nonbinary (enby) folks also wear pronoun buttons as part of our day-to-day life. These are worn by attendees along with their name tag at events, such as conferences and meetups. Hopefully this will be helpful to you, whether you're a trans person looking for a resource to point others to, or a cis person looking to be a better ally!Ī pronoun button is a small pinback button (or sticker) worn by a person to indicate what their personal pronoun is.
