my opinion on "preferred pronouns"

I have seen so many posts / videos where people are like "There is no such thing as preferred pronouns! If it's your pronoun, it's your pronoun!" and I kinda have to disagree with that.
Of course there are people that don't have a "preferred" pronoun because they only use one, but I - for example - have a preferred pronoun.
As you may know I identify as nesciogreygender masculine which means I'm basically agender with some male in it. I use the pronouns they/them as well as he/him, but my preferred ones are they/them (currently).

So if you're a transman or a cisman or just male/more male and you only use male pronouns you don't have preferred pronouns. You just have a pronoun. (Same with female, agender, ...)
But if your gender identity is more fluid or something like bigender, or greygender like me, you may use more than one pronoun and one of those is your preferred one.
You may also use more than one pronoun without having a preferred one though.

So, well, some people do have "preferred pronouns" in my opinion.
