This article details how you can add pronouns to Twitter by the new feature or by using your bio.
Twitter Makes the Move To Add Pronouns To Profile Pages
The last time Twitter made an update to the profile page and about section of its over a hundred million users was in 2014. This might come surprising to several people seeing how the social app has evolved since almost a decade ago. Now, Twitter hosts spaces and has a voice note tweet option; you can record voice notes in DMs and post threads, among several other features. When it announced in 2021 that it was bringing an update to the “About” section of the app, it became a massive win for the LGBTQ+ community. Twitter’s team lead designer said it was giving the app’s users more ways to express themselves and limiting the number of signals an account might send to other users. The update will permanently allow pronouns to show on people’s bios, including she, he, ze, they, xe, ve, xem, vir, xyr, vis, and more. However, as the spectrum continues to broaden, Twitter says it’ll work on updates to ensure the pronouns list remain updated. Currently, the feature is available only to a handful of users, but it’s expected to include everyone soon.
