The use of preferred personal pronouns is becoming an issue in today's society. And it can be viewed as a cross-cultural issue just as some see male-female interaction as communication across cultures. This is a complicated and sensitive topic.

People who choose a personal pronoun other than the one that would align with their sex at birth do so for many reasons. Transgendered individuals seek confirmation and acceptance for their new identity and typically move from "he" to "she" or vice-versa. Others seek escape from sexism and may choose "they."
