    Mine are he/him/his. I don’t get why people don’t mention their possessive pronouns

      Likely for succinctness. I’ve also seen people listing only the nominative, specially when they’re OK with 2+ pronouns; e.g. “she/they”.

    And then [he] skips [them] altogether, because [they] are all contextually obvious.
