User:Bluerasberry/gender labels
Gender labeling is the practice and culture of public, explicit, communication of a person's gender identity. Gender labeling practices can include stating pronoun preferences as part of an initial greeting, inviting people to directly communicate their gender, encouraging participants in conferences and social events to wear pronoun nametags, and avoiding the presumption of anyone's gender.
Gender labeling is subset of labeling theory.
In April 2019 various school districts in England coordinated a campaign to distribute gender pronoun labels for students to wear.[1]
Various management commentators advice sharing gender pronouns in workplace settings.[2]
The LGBT center at the University of Maryland makes recommendations for applying gender labels to nametags, email signatures, [3]
