Had the thought that instead of shifting from "sex" to "gender", why not just skip all that personal info to begin with and get straight to what to refer to the other as, regardless of gender?

Can do the basics:
  • She/Her
  • He/Him
  • They/Them
  • It/Its

Then maybe implement them as a checklist, in case someone wants to be a "he/they" or something. Oh and maybe add things like "Any" or "Ask Me". Neos can be asked to be added in this thread or something possibly?

I'm not sure I can have a profile field that lets you pick multiple options but if not I'll make the field a text input instead.

I can do multiple choice options, but for ease I went with a textbox instead. Unlike the "sex" profile field I have enabled this to display in posts as I feel it is useful enough to be there. I also removed the "sex" field because it doesn't seem necessary information to have in profiles any longer alongside the "pronoun" field.

You know I never heard of it and its for pronouns for nonbinary before, I generally defaulted to they/them for them. Anyways its neat that we can have this change here too! Reminds me how in canvas you can do this too!

They/Them is a good default for just not knowing in general, but yeah I knew of a retired speedrunner that goes by it/its. I don't know if it still does, but yeah. Been seeing it used a lot more frequently since.

I actually know a speedrunner who goes by "We". They are 2-Spirit, so they decided that, for first-person, "We" was the best option. Took a moment to get why it was happening, but it made sense after I got it. They go by "They/Them" for third-person, but mean it in the plural sense. For the record, it was this video that tuned me to them:
