One MD/PhD has his pronouns in his zoom name, They could easily be inferred by his appearance and name, IOW, it’s entirely performative.
Yes, I would think so as well. However, I could just as easily see this person preferring to use "They" as a pronoun. That's not obvious from appearance.

Elon wants to make sure all Twitter accounts are actual humans. he hates the spam accounts. Not a bad idea.

Tesla wiped roughly $126 billion off its valuation Tuesday as the stock fell 12% on investors’ concern that Elon Musk may sell shares to complete his $44 billion takeover of Twitter.
The electric-vehicle maker’s market capitalization is now down more than $275 billion since April 4, when Musk disclosed that he increased his Twitter stake. That’s a drop of roughly 23%. The dollar value of Musk’s 17% stake in Tesla has shrunk by more than $40 billion, almost double the equity portion he pledged in the Twitter transaction.

It must be nice to have so much money that you can lose or make billions simply by trolling.

Still challenging to identify professional propaganda accounts that disguise themselves as casual users.
I'm not at all in the tech field, but that seems like a rather simple thing to solve for as a general condition. It needn't be perfect to be very good.

Cat and mouse game. You try to up your game at piercing through their disguise, they try to up their game at improving their disguise.

Biometrics.
Is it time for the government to roll out a digital ID for all it's citizens? (Replacing the primacy of driver's licenses, SSN, passport, etc.)
Everyone gets one - the government foots the Bill to maintain and secure it and allows other entities to verify it.
