 To the moon Alice. 

I think it’s dumb, but some people don’t. Nostr is about free choice.  
 Of course anyone is free to put pronouns in their bio. But to make it a named field is elevating it's importance as if it is truly global instead of a fringe idea to a small group of English speaking leftists. I think it's a mistake, politics aside. 
 Clients don’t have to support it. 🤷‍♂️  
 And you think that will then not offend the people that put it there?

I'll grab my popcorn. This will cause drama for sure. 
 I’m here to build tools for freedom, people being offended at features that are or are not included in those tools is completely irrelevant.  
 Contextually this was maybe the incorrect point to make the reply in this thread. Sorry.

I love you and all the work you do, regardless if it includes implementations of things that the status quo is divided upon. 
 No offense or otherwise taken. 😅 

Pronouns make no sense to me but neither do lots of other things people get into. 🤷‍♂️
