My experience with 'Transparent' has completely spoiled me because it was the safest, most transpositive set ever. I didn't have to worry about all the usual things - like when people have a vision of your transness that you're not comfortable with. When they don't know the correct gender pronouns by which to refer to you.

I wrote about ladies who had come through the studio. I get asked, 'Is it a choice to gender the music or put pronouns in?' and for me, it just wasn't a choice.

Use pronouns to prevent repeating the same noun, making sentences smoother and easier to read.

Avoid Repetition

Ensure the pronoun clearly refers to a specific noun mentioned earlier so that readers aren't confused.

Clarify Reference

Be aware of gender preferences; some people prefer 'they' instead of 'he' or 'she'.

Gender Sensitivity

In expressions about time, weather, and distance, use 'it' as the pronoun to sound natural.

Impersonal Subjects

Pronouns can make conversations flow better by avoiding the need to repeat someone’s name over and over.

Speech Flow

The wrong pronoun can change a sentence's meaning; choose pronouns that fit the context.

Contextual Use

Use 'we', 'us', and 'our' when you are part of the group you're talking about.

Group Reference

Use object pronouns like 'me', 'him', 'her' after action verbs and prepositions.
