We want to hear stories of how pronouns reflect your identity
Why do pronouns matter?
It's a question CBC British Columbia host Faith Fundal (formerly Wil Fundal) asks in They & Us, a six-part podcast about gender that goes beyond the binary of "he" and "she."
Fundal shares their own journey of coming out as non-binary, and meets people who seek to be recognized for who they are.
Their stories reveal that gender, both the way in which it's experienced and expressed, exists on a diverse spectrum.
"When people refer to me as they/them pronouns, it just makes more sense for how I see myself and how I see the world," says Harper Perrin, a 26-year-old medical student from Prince George, B.C.
We want to hear from you now. What do your pronouns mean to you? And how do they reflect your identity?
