Personal Pronouns in Teams

I'm looking for suggestions or roadmap information about adding personal pronouns within Microsoft profile, specifically for viewing in Teams. I'm not seeing a good way to do it currently and have had a number of asks related to this topic recently. Any guidance is appreciated!

    My employer (Dell Technologies) makes heavy use of MS Teams internally. I rely upon communication of my pronouns so that folks in meetings do not misgender me, which often happens. Adding pronouns to display next to my name would bring MS Teams up to par with its competitors Slack and Zoom, both of which already have these fields.

    Just checked and I'm not seeing anything... thought maybe I was missing something.

    In response to Microsoft's lack of action on this I have created a petition. Appreciate any support.
