Pronouns

Pronouns are how a person identifies – how he/she/they want to be called or referred to. This is now included on most health and personal information forms.

Tips and Links

• When completing health forms or a health assessment you might be asked, “What pronoun do you go by”?
• Gendered pronouns are specific to someone’s gender identity, such as “he/him/his” or “she/her/hers.”
• Non-gendered or non-binary pronouns are not tied to a specific gender. These pronouns are most often used by people who identify outside of a gender binary.
• Learn about gender identity and where to find support from Healthlink BC.
• Explore programs, supports, and services for queer, trans, and two-spirit people provided by Qmunity in BC.
