What are Personal Pronouns and Why are they Important?

What are personal pronouns and why are they important?

Kids Help Phone says:

"Personal pronouns are words that replace people’s names. Each person may like to be addressed with pronouns (e.g. “they”, “he”, “she”, etc.) that reflect their gender identity. If you have questions about pronouns, it’s OK if you’re not sure where to start."

It is important to show our respect for all members of our community by using the pronouns they choose for themselves.
