Social media is a notoriously toxic outlet, especially for those who are part of a marginalized group. However, Instagram recently added a feature that allows users to add up to four pronouns next to their name as opposed to their bio, further encouraging informal gender expression. This feature was long overdue. Mis-gendering, even if accidental, can be triggering and dehumanizing. Whether it’s including your pronouns in the closing of an email, changing your Zoom name during a meeting, or introducing yourself on the first day of school, stating your pronouns should be acknowledged as a common formality. Dating apps, such as Tinder and OkCupid, have enabled users to input pronouns into a specific field, and Facebook has allowed the same opportunity since 2014. Even less social applications like Lyft have encouraged sharing pronouns since 2019, and WhiteHouse.gov updated its contact form to include gender spectrum-inclusive pronouns.
