It is a vehicle for moulding our attitudes, perceptions and behaviour, and reflects the world in which we aspire to live and work. Words and pictures therefore matter, because communication can become discriminatory if we fail to consider the assumptions which influence the language and visuals we use. Language is always changing: words evolve and how we use them should evolve in tandem. Using gender-neutral and bias-free language is a way of moving away from outdated perceptions about men, women, persons with disabilities and other groups of people in society. - icon: 'book-open' url: 'https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/cultural-competency/education/transgender-and-gender-nonconforming-patients/definitions-and-pronoun-usage' headline: 'American Psychiatric Association – Definitions of Gender, Sex, and Sexual Orientation and Pronoun Usage' - icon: 'chart-pie' url: 'https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/220427/dq220427b-eng.htm' headline: 'Canada is the first country to provide census data on transgender and non-binary people' academic: [] mediaGuests: [] mediaMentions: [] recommended: - icon: 'cogs' url: 'https://omg.lol/' headline: 'OMG.LOL' extra: ' – domain name provider that uses Pronouns.Page API in user profiles' - icon: 'cogs' url: 'https://oengus.io/' headline: 'Oengus.io' extra: ' – uses Pronouns.Page API in user profiles' - icon: 'cogs' url: 'https://github.com/eramdam/BetterTweetDeck/releases/tag/4.5.2' headline: 'BetterTweetDeck' extra: ' – a TweetDeck extension that, among other things, displays user''s pronouns more prominently, with the help of our API' - icon: 'cogs' url: 'https://github.com/katacarbix/pronouns.js' headline: 'pronouns.js' extra: ' – a JavaScript library for parsing pronouns' - icon: 'cogs' url: 'https://pronoundb.org/' headline: 'PronounDB' extra: ' – browser extensions that display people''s pronouns on various platforms' - icon: 'sticky-note' url: 'https://leapsports.org/files/4225-Non-Binary%20Inclusion%20in%20sport%20Booklet.pdf' headline: 'Non-binary inclusion in sport' - icon: 'cogs' url: 'https://stats.fm/user/me' headline: 'Stats.fm' extra: ' – a tool for Spotify stats that uses our API for the pronouns field' zine: enabled: false blog: true contact: enabled: true route: 'contact' team: enabled: true route: 'team' support: enabled: true user: enabled: true route: 'account' termsRoute: 'terms' profile: enabled: true editorEnabled: true defaultWords: - - '[no honorific]' - 'mx.' - 'mr.' - 'ms.' - 'sir' - 'ma''am' - 'madam' - 'sai' - 'mir' - 'shazam' - 'zam' - 'comrade' - ['person', 'man', 'woman', 'lady', 'dude', 'boy', 'girl', 'buddy', 'pal', 'bro', 'sis', 'sib'] - ['pretty', 'handsome', 'cute', 'hot', 'sexy'] - ['friend', 'partner', 'boyfriend', 'girlfriend', 'joyfriend', 'husband', 'wife', 'kissmate', 'darling', 'beloved', 'boo'] flags: defaultPronoun: 'they' calendar: enabled: true route: 'calendar' census: enabled: false blog: shortcuts: name: 'why-the-name' history: 'project-history' logo: 'new-logo' new-version: 'creating-new-language-version' redirects: - { from: '^/blog/neutral-language-council$', to: '/team' } api: examples: pronouns_all: ['/api/pronouns'] pronouns_one: - '/api/pronouns/she/her' - '/api/pronouns/she/her?examples[]=Did%20you%20ask%20%7Bpronoun_object%7D%20to%20join%20us%3F' pronouns_banner: ['/api/banner/they.png'] sources_all: ['/api/sources'] sources_one: ['/api/sources/01ERQRCV0V4QVMNKCENF724A08'] nouns_all: ['/api/nouns'] nouns_search: ['/api/nouns/search/person'] inclusive_all: ['/api/inclusive'] inclusive_search: ['/api/inclusive/search/retard'] terms_all: ['/api/terms'] terms_search: ['/api/terms/search/agender'] profile_get: ['/api/profile/get/andrea'] calendar_today: ['/api/calendar/today'] calendar_day: ['/api/calendar/2022-11-23']
