Pronouns

[matthewmayer]

Clear and concise description of the problem

Many online services now allow users to specify their pronouns e.g.

https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/talent-acquisition/pronouns-you-might-see-on-candidate-profiles
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4402698027533-Adding-and-sharing-your-pronouns

For generating realistic fake profiles it would be useful to have a faker method to generate pronouns

Suggested solution

Add faker.name.pronouns()

Although there are many neo-pronouns, a simple implementation could just be a random selection from
he/him
she/her
they/them
in English, and suitable localizations for other languages.

Alternative

You could just do this manually

@matthewmayer Is this specifically for bios or just a way to generate pronouns?

[matthewmayer]

Just pronouns. It's quite common on social media profiles, to have a specific field for pronouns. Instagram and LinkedIn have them for example.

[ST-DDT]

There are different variants of pronouns he vs him (er vs ihm) and I'm sure there are different names for them in every language.
Which ones do we support or how do we support switching between them?

[matthewmayer]

the common way in English to write this seems to be just subject pronoun / object pronoun.

ie this would just be effectively:

faker.helpers.arrayElement(["he/him","she/her","they/them"])
