Hi Rachael and all, I prefer option 1 and 3 combined. If specifying pronouns in our personas is going to help to promote diversity, equality, and inclusiveness, we should be doing it. It seems like the Education & Outreach Working Group (EOWG) may be working on persona pronouns for the WAI Style Guide: https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Style#Personas_and_use_cases Perhaps Shawn may have some guidance for us?
