Pronoun use in the English language is closely related to the name of a person, and therefore also serves a purpose to verbally symbolize the gender of a person.

This too, was something I never really thought about before that night but it a very important topic. We were asked to go around in a circle to say both our name and the pronoun we prefer. Most individuals used gender-neutral pronouns such as they, their, them.
