Pronouns are a part of speech that indirectly refer to a noun. Common pronouns that are used for people are she/her/hers, they/them/theirs, and he/him/his. These may be shortened in text or speech with either two pronouns (eg, they/them) or a single pronoun (eg, they).

People may state their pronouns when introducing themselves, on their social media bios, on their email signatures, by wearing buttons or pins, or other means. Sometimes people may use multiple pronouns, such as both they/them and he/him, that are used in different situations or interchangeably.

It is considered very rude, and often transphobic, to intentionally use the wrong pronouns for someone.
Person 1: If it is okay to share, what are your partner's pronouns?

Person 2: She is okay sharing them, and uses she/her pronouns!

Person 1: She is a joy to be around.

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.
