Good inclusive ideas, pronoun pins with “neutral” color coding
It shows that the color chosen for different gender is not the typical "gendered" color, e.g. red for women and blue for men. I think it's a good idea. Also, they make the pronoun big enough so for colorblind people it is not a barrier to distinguish different pronoun. If further differentiation is needed for colorblind, more design elements can be added (e.g. patterned background, different shapes at the background etc)
I also like included an option for "Ask" in case someone use a pronoun that is not he, she or they. Or, for people who may change their pronoun on different occasions.
Hi, this is a great initiative for promoting inclusivity! I’d love to contribute to this issue and wanted to clarify a few points before proceeding:
Are there any specific design elements you'd like to see for further accessibility (e.g., patterns, shapes, or other visual cues for colorblind users)? Should we consider additional pronoun options, like customizable fields or localized pronouns? Please let me know if this issue is open for contribution and how you'd like me to proceed. Thanks!
Hi @Cheukting ,
I’ve created a pull request that addresses issue #44 by improving the inclusivity and accessibility of the pronoun pins section. The updates include:
A neutral color scheme to avoid traditional gender associations
Multiple visual differentiation methods for colorblind accessibility
Enhanced support for neo-pronouns and customizable options
A stronger emphasis on the importance of the “Ask” option
I’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to review the PR and share any feedback when you have time.
Thanks so much!
