People pressed by pronouns are a strange bunch
We might loose 60% of our right-leaning user base, but we will display pronouns for users that add them to their profile. We are here to serve users and if users want, even if it is a minority right now, they will have it.

I was convinced of the need by this post from nostr:nprofile1qqsrl7kr5my9n6423nwaktrsq2nwzzenal4e95p9k9826mu294jkv4cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj77ew5us
> For instance, I often struggle to determine how to address someone from a non-Western country. Even within Western countries, names can be confusing—like "Michele," which is female in French and male in Italian. Pronouns provide clearer information than "gender" because gender is personal information that remains private, and you don't need to concern yourself with it. Simply use the pronouns they provide, and that's it—no conflict, no confusion.
glad i could help!
Yes, my thoughts exactly. Wokeness debate aside (ugh), it’s especially useful for an app like Nostr where most are anonymous.
If I want to say in a note that Space Cake is right, should I say “he is correct” or “she is correct”?
"They" are correct when you're not sure. now prepare for the not using their correct pronoun debates when they are not a he or she 🤦. At this point prob start adding more accessibility options
