Does anyone specify their pronouns in email?

Just had an email from a person with first name Alison. Underneath it said pronouns she/her. No shit - you're a woman. I deduced that from your first name but I don't actually care what gender or whatever you claim to be we're just doing business. Don't know whether the pronoun bit is the organisation policy or something she chooses to add.

Had to answer professionally but was so tempted to say if you want to bring pronouns in to the equation wouldn't it be way cooler to be them/they

I don’t, but I’ve been asked on certain documents my "pronoun of preference". Even on medical questionnaires where I’ve already identified myself as female. It’s bizarre. 😳

@bijouxbroussard Not being funny but a doctor could probably asses your gender without needing to be told :)
@JonUK31 That’s what I figured, but…😄

@bijouxbroussard Imagine if your preferred pronoun was he. Doc says hate to tell you but my professional opinion is you're a she.

We can put you down as they if you want :)
@JonUK31 My friend jokes about adopting the pronoun "we", like royalty. 🤭

@JonUK31 Here, it depends on the doctor. The fact that they give options suggests some would be willing to go along.
