### 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 last would introduce its own field for them like can be seen at GitHub
profiles.
