A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns

by Archie Bongiovanni & Tristan Jimerson

A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns is an accessible, comic-style introduction to gender-neutral pronouns designed for both people who use they/them pronouns and those who want to be more respectful, informed, and inclusive. Using humor, clear explanations, and real-world examples, this short guide breaks down what pronouns are, why they matter, and how to use them correctly in everyday life.

Told through the dynamic of longtime friends—Archie, a snarky genderqueer artist, and Tristan, a cisgender guy learning how to support a more diverse workplace—the book addresses common questions and mistakes without shaming the reader. It also offers practical guidance on what to do when you mess up, how to practice using they/them pronouns, and ways nonbinary people can navigate a world that often isn’t built with them in mind.

At just 64 pages, this guide is ideal for classrooms, workplaces, families, and anyone looking for a straightforward, affirming resource that makes gender-inclusive language feel doable rather than intimidating.

Why I recommend this book

I recommend A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns because it removes fear and confusion from a topic that’s often treated as complicated or controversial. This is a book I suggest for folks who want to do better but don’t know where to start, AND for nonbinary folks who want a resource they can share without having to teach everything themselves. It’s clear, kind, and practical, which makes it especially powerful as a tool for building more inclusive communities.
