Every default setup on every website and app for the last five or so years has been encouraging users to add pronouns, making it difficult to avoid it, even my iPhone asks me to add each person’s pronouns when I add a new contact. I don’t know why Siri needs to know that, but it’s there. There’s one website I use that won’t let you sign up as a contributor without “completing your profile”, which includes mandatory pronouns.

I guess there’s some workplaces where it’d be useful for me to update these, probably the ones Apple PMs work in.

I wonder if that person might find it amusing to take down the file the app uses
