The presidential campaign for Kamala Harris is now including special pronoun options for job applicants, as part of their commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The job application for the Harris campaign includes nine different options for pronouns, including 'xe/xem,' 'ze/hir,' 'ey/em,' 'fae/faer' and 'hu/hu.'
'Fae/faer,' indicates a gender-fluid person but non-masculine, sometimes of Celtic origin. 'Hu/hu,' pronouns are third person gender-neutral pronouns referring to both a man and a woman.
The other pronouns are considered gender neutral.

'Let the employer know what pronouns you use so that they can address you correctly,' the application reads.
A tenth option exists allowing applicants to create their own 'custom' pronouns or applicants have the option of asking employers to only refer to them by their 'name only.'
The job application includes a question for applicants, asking them to detail, 'how would you contribute to building a diverse culture?'

It also gives potential employees the option of participating in an optional survey 'to help us evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts.'
'Do you identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community?' the form asks.
Harris has long considered herself as a leader on the issue of pronouns, beginning during her failed 2020 presidential campaign.
During a CNN presidential forum on LGTBQ issues, Harris proclaimed at the beginning of her time that 'my pronouns are she, her, and hers.'
The vice president also identified her pronouns after she took office.
At a teleconference with gay activists in June 2021, Harris again identified her pronouns as 'she and her,' repeating it during a disability event in 2022 and adding for the visually impaired that she was the 'woman in the blue suit.'

Harris has made a pointed effort with LGBT outreach during the 2024 campaign, appearing on the show RuPaul's Drag Race in July to encourage the audience to vote.
'We're all in this together, and your vote is your power,' she said.
She also invited cast and crew from the TV show Queer Eye in June to visit the White House and film a video promotion for the administration.
