 I see that @jonoaldersonwp
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02QB8GMM/p1628268515048400
 mentioned about adding Pronouns for profiles on core] after
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5852 I created the meta ticket for
 adding on Profiles], so decided to create a new ticket for core as I fully
 agree that it would make sense.

 As I mentioned on the other ticket, the same applies here: I see that we
 have added a pronouns' field on the Make WordPress Slack workspace, and I
 believe it would be great to have something like that on the user meta for
 the WordPress core.

 Personally, I believe that's even more relevant when speaking some
 languages like Portuguese that don't have a neutral pronoun (not even a
 singular use of they/them).

 Additionally, I believe that's something that we could add automatically
 to the "Display name" for new WordPress installations, at least the same
 way that we had "First name" and "Last name".

 Not sure if adding already some default options (with an "Other" option)
 on a select field would make it less inclusive or not, but mentioning as a
 possibility as it's something that came to my mind.
