(Claire Wolters – The Temple News) At the beginning of each semester, political science professor Heath Fogg Davis asks his students to write down their personal pronouns on note cards so he doesn’t misgender anyone.
Misgendering is the act of blatantly or unintentionally referring to someone by incorrect gender pronouns.
Davis, a transgender man, took up this approach this year to promote gender diversity and inclusivity in the classroom. He puts a lot of thought into the way he asks students about their gender identities.
