I work with kids, and there’s a small button that I wear with my uniform that says he/him/his. They happened to notice that button and said, "Why do you have that on?"
I said, "Well, sometimes people will call me something that I’m not, so this button is to remind them of what to call me…The good news is that you can be called anything."
So, then I just flip it around on them, "What could you refer to yourself as?"
