We are still seeking submissions for the Trans and Nonbinary Survivors Speak Out. This project is a collaboration between FORGE and MenHealing. Participants will have an opportunity to join with other survivors in a series of workshops to help them form community, receive support and coaching, and gain confidence for two Speak Out premiere events in 2022. If you are a trans/nonbinary survivor of sexual assault, abuse, victimization, we welcome your submission to participate. Deadline extended to October 30, 2021. Click here for more info.

Did you know that today, October 20, 2021, is International Pronouns Day? What are your plans to mark #PronounsDay?
The International Pronouns Day website (https://pronounsday.org/ ) reminds us that this awareness day “seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Together, we can transform society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities.”
There are a LOT of things you can do. Here are just a few suggestions:
- Share social media posts about International Pronouns Day
- Use the #PronounsDay hashtag when sharing on social media
- Update your Zoom name to include your pronouns
- Print off pronoun stickers to share with your co-workers, teachers, students
- Talk to your kids, parents, friends, and pets about the importance of pronouns
- Wear a button with your pronouns on it
-
Practice using “non-traditional” pronouns (singular they, per, ey, xe, ze) with your consenting friends (or head over to https://www.practicewithpronouns.com/ )
- Add pronouns to your name tag
- Ask your HR department, campus administrators, or others to update their policies to include a wider range of pronoun options
- Add pronouns to your social media profiles
- Introduce yourself with your pronouns, ask others to share theirs
- Add your pronouns to your email signature file
- Bake and share pronouns cupcakes with your peers (encourage people to decorate their own, or pre-decorate yourself)
