Proposal: "see bio" as a pronoun option (hexbear.net)

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)]

Hence the second idea: as MLRL_Commie was saying, which was my own thought, "keeping at least one acceptable option next to your name keeps it a very achievable goal that everyone uses the correct pronouns for others".

At the same time, I don't actually personally find checking bios to be particularly bothersome, and do it regularly.
