As awareness is increasing surrounding personal pronouns, our verbal behavior is needing to increase as well.

We took a behavior analytic and verbal behavior approach to discussing personal pronouns. What self-advocacy and communication is needed to help support the teaching and re-learning of our verbal behavior.

The visual stimuli is the same but the language to tact a person's preferred pronouns varies greatly. What we're taught at a young age is people with short hair, pants and shirt is a boy and people with long hair, a dress and pretty shoes is a girl is completely irrelevant to determining a person's preferred pronouns.

What are your thoughts and personal experiences on this topic, changing your verbal behavior and increasing awareness?
