On twitter, yes. As a way of normalizing the idea that it’s ok to ask someone (or check their bio) before assuming their pronouns. If it helps someone feel less ostracized, then I’m all for it.

I’m obviously going to assume someone’s pronouns if I meet them in person... I’m not going to ask every person what their pronouns are before I refer to them. That’s a waste of time given that 99%+ people go by he/him or she/her. I’ll correct myself if they request that I use a different set of pronouns

That’s fine, as long as you’re polite about it. I just think people should have the option to put that information out there before it’s assumed. It doesn’t hurt anyone to have pronouns in your bio.
