Change the name of "preferred pronouns" to just "pronouns"

"Preferred pronouns" implies that the person's provided pronouns are optional, and does not reflect our organization's values when asking for students' pronouns.

What specific challenge or problem does this idea solve?

Using "preferred pronouns" is not inclusive language, and can alienate clients of all genders.

How should this work?

Simply change the name of the field.

Who will benefit (Admins, Staff, Students)?

All will benefit. We will be able to address students/parents/staff using their correct pronouns.

How will this change impact your daily tasks or overall experience?

Currently, I am forced to implement my own "Pronouns" fields and not use StudioPro's built-in field in order to not have "Preferred" show up. This would simplify our registration workflow.
