Encouraged to use pronouns in email signature

So there have been a few conversations and emails lately from colleagues letting us know how to add our pronouns to our email signature. It's all mentioned in the context of inclusion and diversity. I personally don't want to, my personal reasons, but I feel that I may be in a minority or frowned upon if I don't. What are your thoughts/experience on this?

I do it. We have such an email culture at my work that I haven't met a lot of people I might need to mention so I can refer to them appropriately. My name's pretty obviously gendered but there are a lot of unisex ones out there.

No-nouns!

... although I'm not working so I don't have a work email anymore. But honestly, how ridiculous.

We have similar. It’s very much encouraged although they stop short of actually mandating it. I just ignore the pressure. I’ve noticed that lots of my colleagues do the same.
