How do I set up pronoun roles on Discord?
Updated · Copy & paste kits
Create no-permission roles such as she/her, he/him, they/them, any pronouns and ask my pronouns, then add them as an optional, multi-select Onboarding question so members pick them when they join. Discord profiles also have a pronouns field, so roles are optional; they help when you want pronouns visible on hover and in role filters.
| Role | Permissions | Color |
|---|---|---|
| she/her | None | Grey (no color) |
| he/him | None | Grey |
| they/them | None | Grey |
| any pronouns | None | Grey |
| ask my pronouns | None | Grey |
Setup
- Create the roles with no permissions and no color.
- Turn off 'Display role members separately'.
- Onboarding: add an optional, multi-select question 'Your pronouns?' with each role.
- Or add a role menu with a bot if you don't use Onboarding.
Rules
Add one line to #rules: respect members' pronouns. Moderators handle misgendering like any other harassment.
Quick answers
- Discord pronouns template: roles or profile field?
- Both work. The profile field is personal; roles let others see pronouns in the member list and on hover.
- Should pronoun roles have colors?
- No. Keep colors for staff and important roles so name colors stay meaningful.
- Can members pick more than one?
- Yes, make the Onboarding question multi-select.
