We were tasked to create a campaign that clearly educates young people about what they can do to support non-binary people, and elicits active support.

Let's say your friend Diana identifies herself as non-binary.

The correction bubble that pops up will allow users to correct the typo with the preferred pronoun and learn more about non-binary people like your friend.

We don't stop there.

We don't stop there.

To educate and encourage others to do the same, the corrected post will be posted with the correction bubble still in tact. 

As friends and friends of friends scroll through their newsfeeds, they will come across someone they know who has corrected their gender typo toward another.
