International Pronoun Day is an initiative of the LGBTQ+ advocacy community, and its stated purpose is to make languages more inclusive for people who do not identify as male or female and the transgender community. It aims to make the question "What are your pronouns" as typical as "Hello, my name is" and "What is your name?" in all nations, cultures, and languages of the world.
International Pronoun Day urges people to include their declared pronouns next to their name in all correspondence, social media activity, and daily life. In the absence of a declaration or when referring to a group, the objective is to replace current grammatical and etiquette norms with gender-neutral terms. Examples include referring to individuals as "them" and "they" rather than he, she, him, or her in English. In foreign languages, people are urged to use an "x" rather than an "a" or "o," "e," or "i" to end words referring to groups when the noun or adjective is masculine or feminine.
Pronoun declaration, the re-ordering of languages and etiquette to accommodate specific segments of society continues to be a highly controversial topic and practice in many countries. Currently, 1-2% of the global population, predominantly in Generation Z, self-identifies as non-binary, meaning they do not consider themselves to be male or female.
