SUMMARY:Modern Pronouns: They is Correct (For SHS Caregivers)
DESCRIPTION:Using “they and them” in the singular may seem to go against what you learned about grammar in grade school\, but you’ve probably been noticing a lot of people using the pronouns they/them instead of he/him or she/her… so many people that Massachusetts now offers M\, F\, and X gender markers on driver’s licenses\, and terms such as nonbinary and genderfluid have made it into mainstream media. Wondering what it all means? Would you like to learn more about how using affirming language and pronouns can help you create a more inclusive community? Join us at the SHS Office for a talk by Julie Nowak (she/any)\, LGBTQIA+ Initiative Coordinator for Springwell elder services. Questions are warmly welcome throughout the presentation/conversation.\n \nPlease register for this event by Thursday\, November 6th.
