(my) pronouns

How I'm addressed

Pronouns, in the possessive construction my pronouns or their pronouns, refers to which third-person pronouns a person uses for themselves—typically he/him, she/her, or they/them, though others exist.

The phrase emerged from transgender and nonbinary communities and spread to wider use: What are your pronouns?
