Poll: Teaching Preferred Pronouns in Schools

Tony from Feilding

After a recent debate with a group of professionals, I'm curious to hear your thoughts! As language and societal norms evolve, the use of gender-neutral pronouns has become increasingly common.

Instead of using biologically linked pronouns such as 'he' and 'she', gender-neutral pronouns are words like 'they/them' used to refer to someone without assuming their gender.
