Pronouns

[Emerson88]

I've noticed the option for us students to change our pronouns, which an amazing feature for those of us who are trans! However, gender and pronouns have a spectrum, might I suggest adding he/they and she/they to the list for people who are demiboy/demigirl?

(Another idea would be to let students and teachers input their own pronouns via typing)

There is a base set of pronouns supplied by Canvas, but the Canvas administrator at any institution is able to modify or extend the list. In other words, you can already do this, but it needs done at the local level.

See this lesson in the Canvas Admin Guide for more information: How do I enable personal pronouns in an account?

@Emerson88 

Thanks for sharing this idea. As @James notes (thank you, James) the local Canvas admin for the school or district can customize the list according to the needs for their institution, so please reach out directly to them to make this request.

As this is already possible, we've archived the conversation.
