Yes! Unfortunately I work in a field where, during the introductions in a meeting, everyone is expected to say their name and their pronouns. I always just say my name. No one has questioned me further on that so far but if they do I plan to say "I don't have preferred pronouns." Because ultimately I don't. I really couldn't care less what pronouns you use for me, I know that I'm female and that can't change based on what you say about me.

Seems like I struck a nerve with you! Are you a pronoun person?

"Thou" seems like a reasonable answer, and insist that their verb conjugation with this pronoun is correct or they are implicitly mispronouning you.

I don't have my own special pronouns because I don't give a shit what you cunts think of me.

Works great first day in a new job.

I have never been asked for my pronouns, but if I were asked, I would refuse to answer in the format they requested, but would feel like I should say something to show myself friendly, since I hate no one, so if I spoke to the one questioning me, my answer would be truthful, like:

I am a man.

I will respond in the same vain as those comics with forcing certain characters to be non-binary by answering a question about what genitals they may have with other stuff.

So when they ask what my pronouns are, I will reply with, "Here/Now"

Not my best joke but it's worth a shot.
