Hello, all!
I'd like to recommend an option for people to be able to display which pronoun they prefer people use when referring to them. Recently, a couple of my friends have come out on Showdown, which is so awesome, and it dawned on me how often people use incorrect pronouns when referring to others--either because they are unaware of their gender or because of a change in preferred pronouns. I'm not exactly sure how this could happen, but I'm hoping this can start a conversation. There is obviously /status now for displaying a short status by your username, but something more permanent would be cool if possible.
This is a Suggestions thread for Pokémon Showdown! obviously, but I feel like this sort of idea would be even more easily applicable on Smogon. There is an option to select your gender, but that doesn't always correlate with the pronouns you prefer. Just as some people display their age on their Smogon profiles, I assume it would be easy to make pronouns able to be displayed as well?
