Gender identity
- Some individuals identify as transgender, while others may not align with the gender binary (male or female).
- Use the pronouns a person identifies with. If unsure, ask or use gender-neutral language.
- For subject-specific references, use the individual's stated pronouns.
- For non-subject-specific references or when gender is unknown, use they/them.
Examples:
- Subject-specific: Barbara Perry, PhD, is a professor in the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities. She is a leading expert in hate crime.
- Non-subject-specific: The student studied in the library for an upcoming test. Their computer was not working, so they contacted IT Services.
