[Woke AF]

What's the right way to find out a person's pronouns?

Start by giving your own – for example, "My pronouns are she/her."

"If I was introducing myself to someone, I would say, 'I'm Wole AF. I use thingy and It pronouns. What about you?' "

Pro tip: If you are totally, obviously a dude, put down "they/them" as your preferred pronoun next time you are asked on some form. See if the organizers get pissed at you for trolling their system. They'll probably be pissed, but they can't do anything about lest they invalidate everyone else's pronoun preferences.

Like this guy:

Michigan student will now be called 'His Majesty' in protest of inclusive pronouns

He believes identifying people how they want to be identified is arbitrary.
