Schools in Brighton and Hove are handing out stickers to pupils that allow them to express whether they would like to go by “he”, “she” or “they”, or by some other pronoun.

The labels are also being distributed at town halls and libraries and are part of Brighton and Hove City Council’s “My Pronouns are...” badge campaign, which aims to support transgender people and prevent “misgendering”.
