Why are pronouns important?
Pronouns, a way to streamline language, have historically emphasised a binary construct of gender. While many individuals use a pronoun associated with their sex assigned at birth, gendered pronouns, and the assumptions behind them, can be a stressor, particularly for people who are transgender and nonbinary. Pronoun expression can be an important part of a person’s identity.
Rainbow Support Drop-ins
Our Rainbow Support Worker, Michael (he/they/ia), will be around answering any questions and providing support to all our students. Have a question? Pop by a drop-in session on Mondays from 12-2pm in QueerSpace (311-302)!
Rainbow merchandise at the Campus Store
In conjunction with the Campus Store, the University has a range of rainbow merch available to students and staff in celebrating our communities on campus. A portion of each sale will go towards supporting our rainbow communities on campus, in funding a variety of events and initiatives. Pick your flavour; mugs, pronoun pins, lanyards, hoodies and even socks in store! Find out more here.
