"We all know that language matters. It can be he difference between a good day or a day of dysphoria and discomfort. Pronouns are not 'preferred.' You prefer ice cream. Pronouns are who we are. They are not there for you to choose what to call us. I'm done saying 'preferred' pronouns--my pronouns simply are my pronouns.

Pronouns

It is never rude to ask for someone’s pronoun or signifier. Please respect people’s identities and expressions.

Fragrance Free Zone
In consideration of those who are sensitive to the chemicals or fragrances, our space has been declared a fragrance free zone.  This policy will help to ensure that our space is accessible and available to all members of our community–including those who have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) or chemical injury.

Please refrain from wearing or spraying chemicals such as perfumes or cologne in this area. If you are in the space and are not fragrance free, you will be kindly asked to remove your scents OR to come back to the space once you are fragrance free.

They include benzene derivatives, aldehydes and many other known toxics and sensitizers--capable of causing cancer, central nervous system disorders and allergic reactions. Citation
