Staff members at the University of Bristol have been given guidance on gender identity and neopronouns, including 'catgender'.
The institution says in its 'using pronouns at work' document that staff should declare their own pronouns when meeting students and new people for the first time, encouraging staff to put their own preferred pronouns in their email signatures to support trans and non-binary students and normalise the practice for all.
Its guidance also links to a web page that says that some people may identify as felines and others could use 'emojiself pronouns', which some people ridiculed online.
