@geekpete Do you have a proposed term to use for this property?
pronouns
is probably easiest.
@geekpete Sounds good to me. Can you prepare a PR for this new property? At minimum, you would need to edit specs/person.md
and schemas/person.json
.
While the gender property is derived from the foaf specification which seems inclusive in its explanation of how gender should be dealt with: http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_gender
deriving pronouns from a gender property is becoming increasingly insufficient for inclusion and equity, especially for democratic standards that are aiming for these values:

An additional property to specify personal pronouns is probably a step in the right direction.
For more information on what this means and why it's important, see the FOAF specification mentioned earlier or maybe these:
