A potential question to ask an individual their pronouns. Individuals may use or be comfortable with multiple sets of pronouns, hence “choose all that apply.” Neopronouns were added based on the 2 most recent Gender Censuses (2020, 2021), in which over 24 000 and 44 000 nonbinary people, respectively, were queried about their terminological usages.^181,182 Pronoun sets could be shifted in or out based on usage statistics on a local level over a period of time. Having a pronoun not listed could alert the medical provider about pronoun usage prior to the encounter. Selecting “prefer not to respond; prefer not to disclose” or the like could trigger a series of potential privacy options, wherein the patient could determine pronouns for various kinds of healthcare encounters depending on safety, presentation, etc.
