Sakurai also recommended sharing your own pronouns first, which creates an invitation for others to do the same.
Asking a person directly about their pronouns is also an option, but be mindful of the context and environment that you're in. Is it in front of a large group of people where that person could feel singled out? Is the setting friendly to transgender and non-binary people? If you think the question could make someone uncomfortable, it might be worth having a more private conversation.
Some people might not be "out" as transgender or non-binary in certain settings and might therefore be reluctant to share. Others might be transitioning or coming to terms with their gender identity and the question could bring up painful feelings for them. Be sensitive and use your best judgment.
It might feel a little awkward at first, especially if you're not used to thinking about gender identity as distinct from a person's biological sex. Ultimately though, normalizing the practice of sharing or asking about pronouns helps build a more supportive and inclusive environment for intersex, transgender and non-binary people. It lets those folks know that you see them and respect who they are.
Very important article on CNN.
Can you imagine walking up to a group of people and introducing yourself, then stating, "... and my pronouns are he/him." How fucking awkward and unnatural. Do you libs really do this when you get together?
TEAM FEELINGS SO VERY SENSITIVE
