Description

A quick, easy and important educational comic guide to using gender-neutral pronouns.

"A great, simple look at the importance of using correct pronouns; extremely accessible to those for whom gender-neutral language is a new concept." –– School Library Journal (starred review)

Archie, a snarky genderqueer artist, is tired of people not understanding gender neutral pronouns. Tristan, a cisgender dude, is looking for an easy way to introduce gender neutral pronouns to his increasingly diverse workplace. The longtime best friends team up in this short and fun comic guide that explains what pronouns are, why they matter, and how to use them. They also include what to do if you make a mistake, and some tips-and-tricks for those who identify outside of the binary to keep themselves safe in this binary-centric world. A quick and easy resource for people who use they/them pronouns, and people who want to learn more!

Advance Praise

“A funny and friendly guide to being respectful.” - Mara Wilson, author of Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame

“Archie and Tristan's guide to they/them pronouns really is all that and a bag of chips. Practical, friendly and funny, the easygoing spirit of the comic should be a big help to those new to and not-yet comfortable using third-person pronouns. Coming at this from grammatical, political and personal avenues, they make clear not only how to use these pronouns, but also why, and give direct, needed information about how to do better when it comes to inclusivity and support for those with nonbinary identities. It’s also very valuable for those who identify themselves this way, providing comfort, help and validation that can be mighty hard to come by in such a binary world. Full of heart, humor and chutzpah, this is one of my new all-time favorite guides.” - Heather Corinna, Founder and Director of Scarleteen.com, and  author of S.E.X.: the All-You-Need-to-Know Sexuality Guide to Get You Through Your Teens and Twenties

“Archie and Tristan have created a fun, engaging, and informative resource! A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns will help those just coming to understand the concept of nonbinary identities and gender neutral pronouns, as well as those who are journeying to understand what their own nonbinary identity means to them (and how to explain it to those they know and love)! Allyship means educating ourselves and those around us, and I am so thrilled to now be able to share this with the many parents, educators, and friends who have come to me with questions about they/them pronouns!” - Kristin Russo, CEO of Everyone Is Gay and My Kid Is Gay

A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns is about taking the time to talk with our friends, family and peers about how we can make the world a little better, safer, and easier for everyone. It’s a short, heartfelt guide that gives us a chance to be better people. It begs to be read, shared, and widely distributed. It’s a great starting point for learning how to treat others with the respect and dignity we all deserve.” - The Beat
