These lessons can help you avoid potentially biased, offensive or exclusive language. As children, we are all given names. We grow up using this name, and sometimes we also adopt a nickname from our friends or family. Some nicknames are fun and friendly and are embraced by the person. For example, was a fast runner as a child, so his family started to call him Speedy instead. This nickname made feel good and he continued to use it into his adult life with friends and family. Nicknames like this are used by individuals at their discretion. In more formal or professional settings such as the workplace, nicknames can be less endearing. They're sometimes a way to hurt people or attempt to control or bully them. When a colleague shares a nickname they have adopted and invites you to call them by this name, it's very different from a circumstance where others assign a nickname to an individual against their wishes. These labels can be disrespectful, especially when a person feels a nickname is being used to embarrass or criticize them. Many names have multiple ways of pronouncing them. When meeting someone new, it's important to ask them to share their name and how they want you to pronounce it. Mispronouncing names just like assigning an unfriendly nickname is a form of microaggression or ongoing subtle harassment. Instead, when you mispronounce someone's name, it's best to apologize and start saying it correctly from that moment on. Transgender or non-binary individuals often change their names and the pronouns they use to identify themselves when they transition to a new gender identity. When as transgender or non-binary person changes their name and pronouns, it is important to honor their identity by using them in your own speech. Misgendering is calling someone by pronouns or name that doesn't align with their gender identity. Misnaming is using a person's dead name, which is a name the person no longer wishes to use, even if it was the one assigned to them at birth. Misgendering and misnaming are forms of harassment when done intentionally. So it's helpful to train yourself to use the name and pronouns an individual asks you to use. Otherwise, you risk offending them, as persistent misgendering and misnaming are widely considered to be intentional bullying behaviors. Using a nickname or unkind term to describe someone based on their physical features, such as their size, is also a form of bullying. People may not want attention called to their appearance and it can humiliate them when it occurs. Each of us has the right to live in our body without critique or commentary. People should also not be expected to explain or validate their physical features or their habits, such as eating or exercising. It's best to identify people the same way that they identify themselves, using the name and pronouns they specify. If you can't pronounce someone's name, it's okay to ask them for help and then practice it. It's important to show others that you care enough to use the correct language for addressing them. https://www.knowledgecity.com | Online Employee Training Platform.
