Instagram wants to give its users the opportunity to proudly assert themselves. It is now possible to choose and display one’s pronouns on their profile. A new option for more inclusiveness on the platform that should please many in the community.

Instagram has clearly listened to its users. For some time, Internet users have been forthright about specifying their preferred pronouns on their profile. It’s a concrete way to assert gender and avoid potentially offensive or indelicate conversations. This evolution in user behaviour is a reflection of current social issues that has obviously pushed the community platform to improve the editing options for profiles.
