There's a lot of us and many folks (or maybe just me) haven't met most people or are otherwise unsure about pronouns.
Put them on the people page? Good idea? Bad idea? Too public?
Thanks for suggesting this!
I am in favor of displaying pronouns on the people page. I also think it's very important to make it obvious that they're optional. I would encourage cisgender people to display their pronouns if they feel comfortable doing so, because that helps to normalize the practice.
I agree. All the information on the people page is currently optional anyway (including being listed, at all), so adding another piece of optional information like this shouldn't be a problem.
I'm in favor of adding this. It is especially useful for new community members, in addition to long-time contributors who simply haven't had the opportunity of meeting everyone.
