A newly-released Navy training video teaches sailors to use the “right” pronouns, “show that we’re allies,” and create “a safe space for everybody,” while instructing service members on how to proceed after having “misgendered” someone.
The official U.S. Navy video posted by Air Force Staff Sergeant John Vannucci, according to The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS), begins with two rainbow-clad hosts — both Navy civilians — introducing their personal pronouns and announcing they are there “to talk about pronouns.”
“Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to affirm someone’s identity,” one host says. “It is a signal of acceptance and respect.”
In order to “go about creating a safe space for everybody,” the host suggests using “inclusive language.”
“Instead of saying something like, ‘Hey, guys,’ you can say, ‘Hey, everyone,’ or, ‘Hey, team,’” he says.
The other host then explains “another way that we could show that we’re allies and that we accept everybody” when she suggests including pronouns “in our emails” or when introducing oneself.
If one has “misgendered” another, she continues, “correct yourself and move on or you accept the correction and move on.”
