For the Transgender Health Meet and Greet which we hosted recently, I leveraged my recently acquired photoshop skills to create nametags that support pronouns.

I’m embedding the template in multiple formats, with instructions below. The document is Creative Commons licensed like everything on this blog – use it, edit it, brand it, make sure it helps other people succeed in life. If you don’t use it to help other people succeed, then the license to use is immediately revoked.

I’ve written previously about why I’ve placed my pronouns on my business card and email sig. I and others encourage other health professionals to do the same:

Built for the Future: My business card includes my pronouns (yours should, too)

Instructions for use and download formats

Print away, have markers or pens handy, and don’t stop at special events, use pronouns in all settings.
