My iPhone 4S went for a swim before phones were generally waterproof and the screen backlight went out and the camera light stayed permanently on. I used the blind assist mode with the phone for a few months and even took photos totally blind. Eventually the backlight came on again and I could use the phone totally normal. Finally killed it falling out of my pocket 150’ up while rock climbing. Great phone though.

You can normalize preferred pronouns by declaring them when you introduce yourself. Eg. I’m Barry and my pronouns are he/him. That’s being a good ally.

If you get someone’s pronoun wrong, it’s no big deal as long as you don’t keep pushing it. They can correct you and you should just use their pronoun after. The most important thing is to use the correct pronoun once told.

You can also ask if a person you have just met has preferred pronouns.
