They'd "(re-)sign" their profiles with "preferred pronoun" designations, eg "he/his" or "she/her". A visible (but less extreme) show of support, vs quitting -- which for moderators who aren't even employees of SE per se, isn't even really an applicable concept. All of which underscores the point of my original (and annoyingly if predictably downvoted) comment about there being ambiguous -- hence ironic -- use of a particular homograph.
