Probably the BEST explanation of why pronouns are important in email and other social media signatures these days.
(Unless you're like me and don't give a damn what pronoun is used,
)
"For the thing about pronouns, it's also super helpful in this global society because as soon as you're trying to email someone you've never met with a name from a language you don't speak, you will be SO GRATEFUL for a helpful little "he/him" or "she/they" on an email signature. I live in Japan and if you wanna email someone you've never met in English whose name is "Yuki Tanaka" then you immediately run head-first into the quandary of "Dear Tanaka" or "Dear Tanaka-san" or spending an hour of your life trying to find some kind of social media presence that'll give you a hint. So why not just everyone put their pronouns in their email signature so doing international business and communication doesn't have to be this hard?"
