Three Democratic presidential candidates have their preferred gender pronouns in their Twitter bios as of Monday.
Former Housing and Urban Development Sec. Julian Castro’s bio declares “He/Him/Él,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bio declares “He/him” and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s bio declares “She/her.”
Preferred gender pronouns include, but are not limited to, gender-binary terms like “he” and “she.” Groups like Amnesty International recommend introducing yourself with your preferred gender pronouns and asking new people you meet what pronouns they use, remembering not to “assume how they identify or what their pronouns are.”
De Blasio’s city adopted a law in 2015 that could fine individuals thousands of dollars for misgendering others as part of “willful, wanton, or malicious” conduct.
Campaigns for Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, former Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Maryland Rep. John Delaney, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, California Sen. Kamala Harris, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, wealthy activist Tom Steyer, author Marianne Williamson and entrepreneur Andrew Yang did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s inquiries.
Buttigieg is the only major Democratic candidate who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community.
Responses from Warren’s and Castro’s campaigns will be added if received.
