Survey Finds 25% of LGBTQ+ Youth Use Gender-Neutral Pronouns

A new survey from the Trevor Project indicates that about a quarter of LGBTQ+ youth use gender-neutral pronouns, a significant finding when coupled with an earlier study that shows significant improvements to mental health among youth whose pronouns are honored by those around them.

The latest survey, “Pronouns Usage Among LGBTQ Youth,” shows that most young people still use a binary he/him or she/her. But among 25% of those surveyed, 16% use a combination of he, she, and they; 5% use only they/them, and 4% use neopronouns like ze/zir and xe/xim.

Survey participants were LGBTQ+ youth between the ages of 13 and 24 in the United States, with 40,001 people sampled.
