Unzipping Pronouns: More Than a Trend, It’s Respect
Description
Pronouns are more than grammar—they’re about respect, identity, and creating safer spaces for everyone. In this episode of Unzipping Taboos, we unzip the power of pronouns in conversations about sex, gender, and relationships. From understanding what they are (and aren’t), to why they matter so deeply, we break down the cultural tension and political pushback surrounding something that should be simple: calling people what they want to be called.
We discuss the generational learning curves, how language evolves, and the dangers of forced disclosure policies. With our signature humor, honesty, and empathy, we explore the harm of misgendering, the lifesaving impact of affirming language, and how we can all do better—even if we’re still learning. Because using the right pronoun isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being present.
