Refers to the third person term that substitutes a proper noun, like a person's name. In English and every single langauge in the world, it is based on your sex: male or female. There is a new American movement that asks for "preferred pronouns" instead of one's sex.

Those pushing for this have no grasp on any other langauge in the world where grammatical gender is used on every single word, and they would most definitely be offended once this fact becomes more commonly acknowledged. What you refer to others as would need to be altered in every single langauge just to suit this bizarre phenomenon thanks to America.
A: What are your preferred pronouns?

B: I'm female? She, her, I guess. This only works in English, you know. I can't change the way I address others just because of your feelings when this gender code would never work in Europe or Asia.

A: Bigot alert!!!!

Pronouns are the things you use to refer to someone or something,yourself and just to speak with other livings things.
Pronouns do not equal gender identity they exist apart from each other but often get considered as the same thing and that's wrong
A: George said that she goes by She/her! what is there not to understand ?!
B: So..George is a Girl now?
A: No, George just feels the most comfortable with She/her pronouns instead of He/him she still identifys herself as a Men

B: So....she's a Men but goes by She/her?
A: yes, that's right !

A pronoun is when you refer to someone so many times that you just start using she, her, they, xe, and many more. three common pronouns are she, him, them, her, he, they, you get the point. like instead of saying 'Jessica' over and over, you could just use 'Jessica's' pronouns, which could be whatever 'Jessica' wants them to be.

NOW PEOPLE CAN STOP SAYING THAT PRONOUNS ARE NEW, PRONOUNS EXISTED ALREADY. a pronoun is a simple sufix that humans use commonly everyday when referring to someone or something to sum this whole definition up.
also if you don't know someone's pronouns it would be polite to just use they, them, theirs, their.
person #1> "Who is that?"
person #2> "I don't know their name yet, but I heard they play soccer!"

see? person #2 used a non-binary (theythem) pronoun instead of using their name which person #2 doesnt know.

Pronouns can be used differently this time we will use “pronouns” for what people call you. if you identify as a women people will use she/her when they don’t use your name, now men if you identify as male people will call you he/him women and men can also be called my she/they or he/they and also people can also use the pronoun they/them you can also use he/she/they
“She”ask for my name-
“He”asked for my name-

“They”asked for my name-
pronouns!

Someone asking you what pronouns you prefer - it is a jargon phrase for identifying your gender. Ie male, female, neutral, etc.
Example pronouns: He, Him: she, her; shme, sheer, and sometimes... it.
