• Replaced the previous color scheme with truly neutral options:
  • Teal – he/him
  • Orange – she/her
  • Gray – they/them
  • White – ask/other pronouns
• Added explicit guidance to avoid traditional gendered colors (e.g., red/pink for women, blue for men)

♿ Enhanced Accessibility for Colorblind Users

• Introduced multiple methods of visual differentiation:
  • Geometric shapes: circle, square, triangle, diamond
  • Patterns: stripes, dots, solid backgrounds
  • Border styles: thick, thin, dashed
  • Text positioning: varied locations for label clarity
• Included high-contrast color requirements
• Recommended testing with colorblind simulation tools

🗣️ Strengthened "Ask" Option

• Explained why this option is crucial for:
  • People who use different pronouns in different contexts
  • Individuals who are questioning or exploring gender identity

🏷️ Expanded Alternative Options

• Added guidance on using custom ribbons for neo-pronouns (e.g., Zi/Zir, Xe/Xem)
• Provided options for "Fill in your own" ribbons using fabric markers
• Suggested the use of blank ribbons for maximum flexibility and inclusion
