Personal Pronouns?

Post by Gravy »

I'd like to think this community is fairly LGBT+ friendly.

One of the easiest ways to show support for members of the LGBT+ community online is by including your personal pronouns somewhere on your account. It normalizes and destigmatizes it for those who fall outside the assumed binary.

I've been struggling with how and where to incorporate this into my own account. Do I add it into my (pretty much non-existent) bio? Or just put it in my signature?

Any one have any thoughts?

Also, if you're open to it, may I suggest adding your own, somewhere (even if it's just sharing it here)?
Pronouns: She/Her

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

II think the best place for it would be under the avatar or in the signature.
