Dictionary

he, him

gender/sex

a set of pronouns, commonly assigned to men and masculine gender identities.

Some people deliberately choose to avoid using he/him pronouns when discussing people – for example, when discussing potential job applicants; by its very nature, the use of he/him pronouns discloses a person’s gender and may lead to gender bias, and so many use they/them pronouns instead.

Pronoun Usage:

he (“he will be marching in the Pride Parade tomorrow”);
him (“that Pride Flag belongs to him”);
his (“his sense of style is remarkable”);
his (“that Pride Flag is his”);
himself (“Jay danced by himself”).
