And now this is also just how we communicate that the speaker is stating their own pronouns. If I put "Pseu he" as my username, there's a high chance of confusion. If I put "Pseu he/him" as my username, it's obvious what I'm trying to say.
Why not something like "Pseu [he]"?
That works better in text, but doesn't come across as well in spoken word
At least in the areas where I see pronouns, they often do it in their status or the like and may not use brackets. "He/him" seems to be more widely understood than brackets or parentheses.
People don't seem too confused by my Alex (they), to be fair. It's more about the punctuation than about the single pronoun.
