pronoun attribute for artists

XMLWordPrintable

      MB currently has a gender field for artists (other/female/male), which can be set for individuals only. since gender and pronouns don’t always align, i think we could use a field for each artist’s primary pronouns.

      i initially propose this with the following generalized structure:

      • singular
        • neutral
        • female
        • male
        • any?
      • plural
        • neutral
        • mixed
        • female
        • male
        • any?

      plural pronouns limited to groups, i believe?

      i see two appropriate options to implement this:

      • single fixed value
        this is how gender is handled currently.
      • multiple values with time period
        similar to how aliases work, which would allow to set begin and dates.
        the date option limited to groups only maybe? use case: when a group lineup changes from a mixed gender/pronoun ensemble to all female.

      also started a discussion on the Discourse.
