>An Australian high school is handing out 'pronoun badges' to their students so they can tell others whether to call them he, she, or they. Redcliffe High School in Brisbane's northeast introduced the badges to promote inclusion among its transgender and non-binary students.
>The pins - which were trialed last week by its LGBTIQ students - come in three different versions and are labelled either she/her, he/him or they/them.
>"Pronoun badges are as simple as they sound: they're badges with different pronouns on, However, their purpose is to display to everyone what those who are wearing them define themselves as. They're also so that people know what to refer to the wearer as," the school wrote in a Facebook post.
>However, Victoria's Opposition spokesman Tim Smith at the time slammed the 'They Day' initiative, saying, "The Department of Health needs to spend more time on running hospitals and less time on gendered pronouns".Pronoun badges were previously used by Victorian public servants to encourage them to use gender-neutral terms.
