### How can I help gender minorities on Matrix?
There is an easy universal way on the internet, _put your profiles into your
profile or display name no matter how obvious they may seem to speaker of your
language_. In addition to normalising the behaviour, you may make it more
difficult for hostile users to target us when they assume that only gender
minorities have their pronouns visible.
On Matrix specific work on this, see the following MSCs although pronouns in
display names are going to stay for the foreseeable future.
- [MSC1769: Extensible profiles as rooms](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/1769)
- [MSC3189: Per-room/per-space profiles](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3189)
- [MSC3755: Member pronouns](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3755)
The two former would help with keeping English pronouns in English spaces and
the last would introduce its own field for them like can be seen at GitHub
profiles.
### How do you do custom not-emoji reactions?
They are implemented by multiple clients other than Element. In FluffyChat, Gomuks and Nheko you can reply to something with `/react something` to add a `something` reaction. In Hydrogen there is a `...` next to emojis allowing you to enter freeform text as a reaction. In Schildichat Android when you search for a reaction, it offers to send your search as a freeform-reaction.
