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've more often than not seen it used by HR people in order to satisfy some corporate edict. I deal with people in the business world every day and have never had anyone tell me in person, nor in an email what their "Pronouns" are, if they did, I'd probably laugh about it and get in trouble for that.

@spjennifer It's very common at my work to include your pronouns in your e-mail signature.
