The simplest would just be to add "see bio" to the pronoun drop-down, but more ideally this would be something you could check to add to the end of your pronouns, e.g. Erika3sis [she/her, xe/xem (see bio)]

I have my third pronoun in my bio, although i'd just list it if I could since its he/him

One of the things I'm worried about is if someone lists different pronouns in the bio than in the display name, that this might cause confusion and create the impression that someone is misgendering someone else, when the person was actually just using the pronouns from the bio.

~~You can tell the mods any new pronoun set to add to the list and it will be! Then you can have exactly the set you want. Unless it's more complicated than a list, then we're back to the reason this thread started :)~~! Turns out I was missing something from Edie's comment elsewhere in the thread and maybe this isn't possible?? Sorry for bad asvice.

No, you misunderstood my comment. My comment was about having more than two pronouns, not adding new pronouns. You were right before your edit.

The person above me already has 2 pronouns in their name, so adding a third would be impossible, no? Or am I still not getting it?
