This was a quick read that helps introduce individuals to the idea of pronouns other than she/her and he/him along with how to use them properly.

A lot of the information that is in here is what I have stumbled upon in my research, but that didn't take awhile from this. It is always helpful to reread about how to use gender-neutral pronouns and gender-neutral terms. Living in a more conservative part of the country, this is something that I would like to keep reading about so I can help those who aren't cis and make them feel more comfortable.

This fun read helps do that and could be very useful for those who don't quite understand the gender-neutral pronouns.

This is very simple beginner's guide to they/them pronouns. I've already known pretty much all of those information but the thing is it took me a lot of TIME to learn that and while I do not think that time was wasted I wish I had a guide like this one back when I first learned that there are more than two genders. Coming from a conservative family, those concepts were completely new to me and I didn't know where to start - this book is a good start. It covers all the basic aspects in an approachable funny way and encourages to look up more information.

This book not only gives practical information but also explains the emotions caused by being misgendered and Why You Should Care.

The second part contains some advice to non-binary people on coming out, cuting people out, and reaching out for support.

This is a great introduction to using they/them pronouns, why it's important, and how to talk about it with others. I think that this book makes a difficult subject easy to understand. Good writing, fun characters, and nice art.

This is a great book! Will be left on the break room table. Funny and serious at the same time.

An excellent introduction to gender neutral pronouns--how to use them, how to correct a mistake in using the wrong ones, and how to adapt your language to be more inclusive. By changing a few simple words to a few other simple words, you can not only make your language more inclusive, but also make sure you don't offend anyone by misgendering them. Jimerson introduced neutral language into his business and much of the advice could definitely be used in a training session at a business or any other situation where a large group of people are working together. Much of the advice was stuff I had picked up from a variety of sources over the years, but it was nice to see all of that validated and compiled into a short comic like this!

Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to be a better ally!

Pronouns are a difficult topic. Some of us feel like the rules for using them are engraved in our brains, some people feel like the rules are engraved in stone, and some feel like they're being stabbed every time the wrong pronouns are used for them. No matter what pronouns you use, you probably have questions. Archie and Tristan have answers, advice, and info. Archie uses they/them and Tristan uses he/him so we get different perspectives. Archie lets us know why pronouns are so important and Tristan is a good example of an ally.

This short book is a conversation between them and the reader. It's fun and well-drawn. The art style looks loose but the expressions are spot-on when they need to be. There's plenty of humor and the relationship between Archie and Tristan is comfortable and relatable.

The focus here is why pronouns are important, what to say in some common (and sometimes uncomfortable) situations, and that really this is all about creating a safe, welcoming space for everyone. I look forward to the other guides in this series.
