I'm pretty biased here as I'm a proud Ally but pronouns don't really harm anyone.

It doesn't hurt you or affect your life in any way if someone wants to be referred to as "them" or by a pronoun which is different to what you'd immediately assume.

You may make a few errors the first few times you get used to it but just try your best to get it right.

I have a friend who for over 30 years was called Darren but now wants to be called Danielle. I occasionally get it wrong as Darren was the name I used for 3 decades but she understands that and I get it right far more often than wrong.

Just be kind.
