Excited to see this as tracked/considered. I suggest that it be a small box on the profile with a customizable entry AND label, so if people are so goddang set against having a pronouns bar (or just prefer that info in the regular about), they can change it to be something else (like Blogger [Storename]), as well as those of us who have unusual and/or multiple pronoun sets can add whatever we want. Only issue I see with this would figuring out the most reasonable character limit.

Wow, just those 5 huh? Thats not very inclusive of you.. What about:

They/them: A gender-neutral pronoun that can be used to refer to a single person

Ze/zir: A neopronoun that is pronounced "zee/zeer"

Ze/hir: A neopronoun that is pronounced "zee/heer"

Xe/xem: A neopronoun that is commonly pronounced "zee/zeer"

Fae/faer: A neopronoun that is commonly pronounced "fay/fair"

Ey/em/eir: A neopronoun that is commonly pronounced "aye/em/air"

Ae/aer: A neopronoun that is commonly pronounced "aye/air"

You just gonna leave those out? We have to be inclusive if we dont want to upset people..

Or, they could just put them in the about me section..

very good idea

This request can be solved with the use of resident profile text, to share gender identity.

The ability to optionally view this information in nametags and/or in chat banners - as we already have with account usernames, would be an awesome addition to this functionality.

I'm partially conflicted on this feature request, on one hand, it could just be put into the profile description field.

However I can see this being useful from a scripting perspective which I don't think people are seeing, in which is why I propose this being done from a standardized approach, in specific, provide it as a enum like so:

This could then be grabbed by a script api like

This would solve the issue that arises from where a lot of male shapes may use the female default avatar, and scripts believe the avatar is female.

This would also allow for automatic localization by pairing it with .

However a problem here would be that if someone uses both male and female avatars, we might want to get the avatar they are using's gender. Which has me wonder if it would be worthwhile storing it as a attribute in the appearance shape, and when the appearance shape is worn, send a profile update request from the viewer.

I'm not going to beat around the bush here, I get that people see this as a politicized feature request, as people have pushed pronouns as a means of stirring political discourse. I personally am not in favor of those who intentionally try to cause discourse with it, however I see it as being a useful feature here if implemented in the right way.

Amazingly, this would be less work to add than has been expended in this thread attacking the idea and its proponents.

There's no possible way this could be paired with OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_TYPE to create some unintended consequences...

this is so stupid. There are so many more important things to focus on and not waste time on this nonsense. You have your whole profile to write what ever you want already if it is that important to you.
