Provide gender in search results of patron search
In the Manage Service Patron, when searching for a patron, it would be useful if the search results included the patron's gender (if it’s known) so that library staff can address the right pronoun to the user in front of them and thus avoid misgendering .

Greetings,
Thank you for this propositon. I would precise that only the pronouns should be included in the results. Gender and pronouns are two different things, that do influence each other but are not dependent from each other. For instance, someone using the pronouns "he/they" is not necesserily a man or nonbinary.
The preocupation should be focused on the pronoun (so how we adress someone) rather than the gender(what is someone).
I hope I have been clear enough,
S. M.
