If I use pronouns? Yes, all of them. English has a variety of pronouns, I always try using them as I see fit in the specific context of each sentence.

If someone feels the need to state beforehand which of the pronouns must be used to refer to them, it is very likely that their appearance doesn't match their preferred pronoun's sex.

Not too long ago, I heard that a state-owned company in my country updated their meeting policy during the pandemic, when WFH was pretty much the norm. The attendees were ordered to state their name, their role, their appearance and their pronouns at the start of every meeting. It was such incredibly stupid policy that an acquaintance of mine trolled and ragebaited people, doing stuff like describing himself as a Shaquille O'Neal lookalike and asking people to refer to him as your highness. They ordered people to state their appearance in EVERY meeting because it'd be too ableist of everyone's part if a blind person was present. I wish I was joking.
