What's wrong with putting that in the description field? There was already freedom. You're making a political statement and forcing your ideology on people.

It's just a little nicer as a field. This is nostr, people can put whatever they want as a field.
How do I remove that field from my copy of Amethyst?
I don't see any way to remove input boxes. Is this also in the updated version?
Yeah, we are adding as many fields as users want. They will always be there as long as people use them.
I'm a user and I don't want this. Where are these people who want this? Prove it. I know what you're doing. You want funding. This was something the funders want. They aren't the ones using this. They are the people promoting wokism. How about exposing them, instead of serving them? Try helping instead of hurting.
I hear you. I will collect more data from other users to see if it bothers them as well.
Thank you.
A good question to ask is: "Who is this really benefitting?"
Comte Sats argument may sound like a stretch at first read, or laughable to the unitiated reader, but some of us has been watching this development over the past several years.
Fact of the matter is that it's a seemingly innocent addition to social interaction that ends up being used as a marker of cult belonging and internal hierarchy and eventually cudgel of socia abuse andl ostracism.
It sounds weird, but some of us have studied group psychology and cult behavior for years, and you don't want to lend the devil your little finger in the current cultural climate.
My two eurocents. Thanks for reading.
"Who is this really benefitting?"
Right now I have good feedback from anonymous users that want to help people refer to them, from internationals whose pronouns of their names or glyphs (Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, etc) are not obvious to the western society, from real LGBT+ users that truly think they are more welcomed to Nostr since the addition and from woman which constantly need to remind man of their gender in a male-centeres Nostr.
Keep in mind that this association of pronouns with a political position is mostly a US thing. Nobody else sees this issue in this way.
I disagree with this & if they could then the client would be like mastodon where you could hit a + add label name on the left then the field to the right.
That's what it is. By definition the profile on nostr is a bunch of fields anyone can add to it.
