Add :random and :any endpoints

[penartur]

What if one doesn't care about what pronouns other use to refer to them, and wants to make their choice explicit? E.g. "refer to me however you want, use whatever pronouns you want, it's all fine with me"? I might be wrong, but it seems pretty logical for me.

Currently, such people are left without much options: either they link to pronoun.is and explicitly say that they prefer some specific pronouns over others (which they don't); or they don't link to pronoun.is, and everyone else assumes they have some preferred pronoun and just didn't make their choice explicit and public.

Would it make sense to create e.g. http://pronoun.is/any, with text akin to the one below?

One who directed you there does not have strong preferences for any specific pronouns.
Here are some example sentences for such people:
They went to the park.
I went with her.
Ze brought zir frisbee.
At least I think it was his.

I think we're going to add a https://pronoun.is/:random which displays a random pronoun, and we could have a https://pronoun.is/:any which shows the same page but with the explanatory text like you suggested. I'm not keen on showing mixed sets of pronouns within one example block though.

@morganastra I think that having the page show a random pronoun but also show the explanatory text ("One who directed you there does not have strong preferences for any specific pronouns.") would be confusing, in the sense that if the reader doesn't read carefully, they would think that my pronoun is whatever the random pronoun is. Personally I would rather have a static endpoint, like pronoun.is/any, which says the explanatory text without any examples.

@diracdeltas that's a good point about it potentially being confusing, on the :any one

I second the any option. It would be so great to have an https://pronoun.is/any page.
