Classic pronouns, traditionally referring to he/him and she/her, have historically been used to indicate a person's gender identity. He/him pronouns are used to refer to males, and she/her pronouns are used to refer to females. Using the correct pronouns for individuals is a sign of respect. While the use of they/them and other non-binary pronouns has increased, understanding classic pronouns remains essential for communicating effectively and respectfully within many contexts.
