Hello @sociology & etc, if you're planning first-day-of-class (or etc) introductions, and you want to be inclusive of trans/non-binary folks, can I suggest (as a trans professor with a lot of trans & non-binary students) including pronouns as *optional* rather than required?

Pronouns in go-rounds & on name-tags & etc are great in many ways, bc they signal "we don't assume anyone's gender identity/pronouns here" and also "we're trying to be inclusive of trans & non-binary people."

But: (cont)

@daniel_laurison thanks a lot for sharing this insight. As a cis teacher who usually teaches trans students, I find it very useful 🤗
