Tell us what your pronouns mean to you

Why do pronouns matter?

It's a question CBC British Columbia host Faith Fundal(formerly Wil Fundal) asks inThey & Us, a six-part podcast about gender that goes beyond the binary of "he" and "she."

Fundal shares their own journey of coming out as non-binary, and meets people who seek to be recognized for who they are.

Their stories reveal that gender, both the way in which it's experienced and expressed, exists on a diverse spectrum.

"When people refer to me as they/them pronouns, it just makes more sense for how I see myself and how I see the world," says Harper Perrin, a 26-year-old medical student from Prince George, B.C.
