I wouldn't add pronouns by myself because it's not needed in my case. Haven't heard of an employer here who even mentions anything like this, but I wouldn't mind doing it when requested. For some people(even "binary" ones) this would be helpful because of names usually associated with the opposite sex. Especially in emails, where the name is often the only identifying information.

> they genuinely did not know that stating pronouns was a thing

That is...impressive. I don't think I've used an online community in recent years where this wasn't brought up as topic here and there.
