Ugh.
Super cis perspective here, but I've come to find optional pronoun marking to be a really useful form of quasi-universal design—once again, a gift in which the struggles led by marginalized communities make life better for everyone. Quite often one just really can't assume to know someone's pronouns, especially if their name is from a different culture from yours or (like many names) is nonbinary. It never hurts to get some extra information.
