Full origin of she/her →Frequently asked questions
What does she/her mean in a bio?
It tells you the pronouns that person uses, so you refer to them as she and her rather than guessing. Sharing pronouns is often done by everyone in a workplace or group, not only by trans people, precisely so nobody is singled out.
What is the difference between she/her and she/they?
She/her means only feminine pronouns. She/they means both are acceptable, though many people who use it have a preference or expect a mix, and it is fine to ask which they would rather hear.
Do only women use she/her?
No. Any person whose pronouns are she and her may state them, including trans women, non-binary people and cis women, and stating them is simply about how you should be referred to.
