Pronoun badges within CFHD

Today people all around the world join together to celebrate transgender and gender‑diverse people, and recognise the importance of creating spaces where everyone feels safe, respected and seen.

Here at CFHD, we’re supporting this by encouraging staff to share their pronouns in meetings, add them to email signatures, and wear pronoun badges such as the ones below.

These may seem like small actions, but they send a powerful message to our staff and the young people and families we work with: that their identity is valid and they don’t have to explain or justify who they are.

It’s important to remember that using or sharing differing pronouns doesn’t mean someone is transgender, it’s simply a way of challenging those rigid gender norms and being comfortable with who they are.

We encourage pronoun sharing as 1 of our initiatives to show that our service is a place where everyone is welcome and validated.

Visibility matters, and together, these small changes help us build a safer, more inclusive community.
