Add pronouns as a dedicated part of user profiles

Although the title pretty much is self explanatory, I'd like to make a couple things clear and give an example of this executed well.

Instagram recently implemented a feature where you can show you pronouns on your profile (pictured below).

If this were on Discord, it would save many server mods the trouble of setting up pronoun roles with bots like MEE6 or Carl-bot. On top of that, if someone's pronouns change in the future, they can just change it in their user profile instead of having to change them in every single server.

You could also add the ability to add custom pronouns to make people have whatever they are most comfortable with in their bio.

This would be great for accessibility, and just overall kindness and respect for others, as it is just the respectful thing to do to use their proper pronouns. Especially since you (the Discord team) made such a big deal about supporting LGBTQ, this could be another amazing feature to add to your already amazing new user profile customizations.

Edit: Fixed spacing

    Would certainly be cool to have.

    I know this is in good faith, but some people are closeted and might not be able to use this feature, which means the individual server roles offer an advantage that way. If it did exist, I wouldn't mind it, but that might be a consideration in how this would be implemented

    Please add this as an option. Allowing it to be server-specific would be even better, as some people want to be out to their friends, but not everyone in the world.
