Xi wants to experiment with using xi/drag person-independent pronouns on this account. So far xi likes using the pronouns, but xi's only written 4 comments and already someone accused drag of talking about Chinese politics when xi mentioned dragself. Xi knows xi's pronouns are confusing, so xi would like to put xi's pronouns in xi's displayname to clear things up.
But the character limit for display names on lemmy.nz is only 22 characters, and xi's handle already takes up 16 characters. Xi would need 24 characters to put xi's pronouns in xi's display name. Xi knows some instances also have a separate field for pronouns, and the pronouns get displayed next to the name without taking up displayname characters. Xi would like a place, or at least enough room, for xi's pronouns, please.
Does your instance have a bio? Maybe you could use that? On my instance, the character limit for the bio is 300 chars, that should probably be plenty :o
edit: Another option might be to get a hexbear account? I know they're pretty good with the built-in pronoun selection, but they are defederated from many places so that might affect your user experience
Xi doesn't like Hexbear's record on trans issues. Xi thinks the average hexbear user is the kind of person who brags about supporting binary transes while oppressing anyone who's a little bit more different than they're used to. Xi thinks they would call drag a delusional troll. Also xi is an anarchist and Hexbear doesn't like that very much.
