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)]

maybe having "any except " as a gender in list one and then you pick whatever not-one in list two? i do think it gets rapidly way too complicated to be concise about and being (relatively, i suppose, are you the longest list?) concise about it like the way we have now is important for people reliably seeing and using our pronouns.

on the other hand, having the not-pronoun next to the name might have people using it because they see that and don't parse the negation and that could be a bad day for folks.

A better alternate phrasing might be "do NOT call me", but it still opens up the possibility of "sorry, I just misread it" as an excuse I worry.
