CTOnews.com February 17, Microsoft Vice President Ashok Kuppusamy revealed in the latest LinkedIn blog post that the custom pronoun (Pronouns) option will be enabled in Microsoft 365 in March, and users can set their own preferred names.

With regard to this new feature, the blog post said that customers have a great demand for personality expression. CTOnews.com translated some of the contents as follows:

Customers are constantly asking us to add additional functionality for personal expression, and we are eager to use this feature in our own organization. This function has many uses, but its core is to create conditions to help prevent gender errors among transgender and non-binary people.

The impact of gender discrimination is well documented; inclusive products and services are a key factor in supporting a culture in which employees are respected and valued in the workplace. We thank the engineering and working teams of internal and external experts for bringing this feature to market.
