--- Comment #2 from Andrew Fuerste-Henry <andrew at bywatersolutions.com> ---
I like the idea of a field for pronouns! However we set it up, it should have
the ability to support a locally-defined list of options.

I'm hesitant to go with this construction. "Legal/preferred" has a strong
possibility to carry connotations of "real/imagined" for some folks. Further,
we should not overly-conflate gender and pronouns. They're very much
intertwined, but not quite synonymous.
