[Michlib-l] Card Applications

[Tekedra Lofton]

I mean, if you want to include gender. I believe the appropriate way to do
it is to list:
He/Him/His
She/Her/Hers
They/Them/Theirs

And you should probably consider making it so they can choose more than
one.  Some non-binary individuals are comfortable with using more than one
set of pronouns.
