Idea: listing pronouns

I don't know about the rest of you, but sometimes it gets really frustrating getting misgendered all the time. Even if you have your gender shown.

So maybe in forums and profiles, there could be a spot that lets you show your pronouns.

You can edit it in the settings, by choosing:
a) he/him
b) she/her
c) they/them
d) other: *would be followed by typing pronouns in*

This could be shown in profile by the gender, and somewhere underneath the user's name in the forums.

Idk just a thought to help ease people who are really concerned about their gender appearance, like myself.

I find the gender symbol enough and when it's not shown I respectively try to interact with usernames as a "person".



@whispers

As another "identifying" male I've encountered no "misgendering" here or anywhere else. ( except a while before puberty sunk in and people on the phone would sometimes refer to me as ma'am hehe )

I mean... I've gotten a ton of it lately and it's really frustrating... that's all I'm doing this for. Even with the gender symbol I've been given the wrong pronouns, and I mean. I don't mind once or twice.. but it's been happening a lot and it's just slightly frustrating.
