What are your pronouns?

I don't really like neopronouns.
I do like singular "they" in English.
In German there's not really an equivalent to that (since "Siezen" is more used in a context that builds power imbalance while claiming to be a sign of respect. And I think power imbalance is actually the biggest preventor of respect. People use the word "respect" mostly for two things.
Meaning
1. "Treating someone like a human"
2."Treating someone like an authority figure"
And then people who think they deserve to be treated like an authority figure will say
"If you don't respect me I'm not gonna respect you" in reality meaning "if you don't treat me like an authority figure I'm not gonna treat you like a human" and I think that's stupid...)
As long as you treat me like a human and not like a stereotype and don't use one with the intention of upsetting me I really don't care which pronouns you use.
Well... I guess it makes me a little bit happy if someone uses female pronouns...
