(she/her) [View all]

Twice in the past few weeks I received emails, responding to me with pre-printed signature that includes the above description by the name of the writer.

In one case the writer has an unusual name so it would be impossible to guess the gender. And it is important if I reply to address the person as Mr. or Ms.

New to me. And interesting.
