Mirror pronouns, in internet slang, refers to the act of using pronouns in a way that reflects or mirrors another person’s chosen pronouns. It involves using pronouns that match the ones someone uses to refer to themselves, showing respect and affirmation towards their gender identity.
Examples:
1. If someone identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, if I were to use mirror pronouns, I would say, “I saw them at the park today, and they looked really happy.”
2. Imagine someone identifies as she/her pronouns, to use mirror pronouns I would say, “She shared her amazing artwork with us, and she is such a talented artist.”
Using mirror pronouns helps create a more inclusive and respectful environment online, acknowledging and validating people’s chosen pronouns.
