On Ask Fedora and Fedora Discussion, we have a profile field for pronouns.
It is an open text string where people can provide what they want.

I have noticed that many people have, somewhat confusingly, given their
first name or username here. Others have given what I suppose they think are
clever responses, which are generally (as my kids say) more cringe than
cute.

I am thinking that it may be best to have a limited-option dropdown, with
these choices:

* [blank]
* she / her / hers
* he/ him / his
* they / them / theirs
* other (see profile)

... with the last option for folks who sincerely use neopronouns, or if
someone _really_ wants to use their profile space to go on about their
personal beliefs on the topic for some reason.

Your advice appreciated.
