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 I do too many "meta" comments, but I feel like I'm constantly referring to others. I do so usually using a name or "poster above you" out of an abundance of caution, but I unfortunately don't expect everyone will do it. Principally I agree. Pragmatically I would like more non he/hims to decide which to prioritize: avoiding misgendering altogether (the bio-only option leads to more misgendering, likely) vs getting to have a bio with a more expanded description be the standard for you.

Actually, on second thought, I guess everyone could just be allowed to make that on your own? That's probably actually best. Nevermind what I said above lol. But I'm gonna leave it so my thought process is understood.
