	This year we are asking you to put your gender pronoun on your badge. For example, if you identify as a woman, you may put down she/her. We are doing this to make respecting gender identity easier for everyone, keeping in mind that not everyone identifies as a man or woman, or individuals, such as transgender people, are sometimes mistaken for a gender they are not.

	~~Your pronouns are the words people use to refer to you other than your name, like She and they: "Fatima got a new dress. Have you seen her?"~~
	A few other helpful concepts in English that you are likely to hear are trans and cis. If you hear people say cisgender, they are referring to someone who identifies with the gender that the medical establishment assigned them at birth. Transgender simply means someone who does not.

	People who do not identify as men or women are commonly referred to in English as “nonbinary” or “genderqueer”. They may use the pronoun “they”. No special grammar is needed. Use this as you normally would in English: "Emme is so great, I’m glad they came to IFF."

	Pronouns can tell the world what you think someone else’s gender is. For someone who is often mistaken as a gender they are not, like a trans person, or someone who does not use the more common pronouns of he and she, it is frustrating to have to explain what your pronoun is. Similarly, many cisgender people feel uncomfortable asking. (this doesn’t have to be there but something like this)

	That’s why we are asking everyone to write down their pronoun. We want to make respecting gender identity normal- and easier for everyone! If only transgender people have to write their pronoun down, it gives the impression that only their gender identity is unusual.

	All that being said, please remember that IFF is a global conference and not everyone has the same ideas about gender, nor do all languages have gender neutral options. Also, pronouns can be difficult in any language for a non-native speaker. Let’s respect each other as we work to get this right together!

	~~Here’s a blog post that has collected LGBTQ resources in multiple languages that may help if you have more questions:~~
