Now it's personal pronouns and gender. Seeing more and more on resumes. I didn't ask if you were "genderqueer", don't care and it has nothing to do with our open front end dev position.

Listing their pronouns prevents candidates from being misgendered while hiring staff discuss them. Makes sense to me.
The point is that thats what the candidate is requesting to used in conversation and when referring to that candidate. It's a courtesy thing
wow you sound pretty aggressive about something that is quite innocuous.
I was stating an observation about things people (voluntarily) currently put on resumes (not applications where things have actual questions/predetermined choices) that don't have anything to do with the job. To us, gender is irrelevant in terms of a job, just like height/weight/previous salary, which is what I was responding to. You seem to have a very loose definition of aggressive.
