[Evergreen-general] Patron Pronouns

[Thomsen, Elizabeth]

I added  a comment to Millissa's patron pronoun bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1967775/comments/1

Short version is that we would like to see this as a free text field with a
couple of examples to suggest formatting: *she/her/hers*, *they/them/theirs*
.

This article is from 2016, but we found it helpful: Supporting Students’
Gender Identity: An IT Perspective
