Person-first language centers the person, not the identity that makes them weird and uncomfortable to be around. By using person-first language we can all build a more inclusive workplace where we can bring only the socially acceptable parts of ourselves to work.
How do you use person-first language? Please refer to this handy dandy guide. Note that some marginalized folks don’t like being referred to with person-first language - these people are wrong and should be ignored.
| Instead of | Say |
| White Person | Person |
| Straight Person | Person |
| Cis Person | Person |
| Autistic Person | Person I think might be whispers on the spectrum |
| Trans Person | Person with some freaky gender shit and “pronouns” |
| Gay Person | Person who I’m totally not uncomfortable with but I just don’t want them to flirt with me |
Remember - with person-first language our differences no longer matter. Because ultimately, we’re all part of one race - the human race
