In English, it’s become de rigueur in certain circles to introduce yourself with your name and preferred pronouns.

These range from the traditional (he/him/his or she/her/hers) to the nonbinary but singular "they,” and all the way to pioneering neologisms such as ze or zir.

The point, usually, is to burst out of the psycho-social straitjacket of binary chromosomal sex and the corresponding presumptions about gender roles.
