Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.

yeah but then your org starts making you rotate your pronouns every two weeks and you end up just rotating through similar versions of the same pronouns, ending up less secure in the end.

It's also important to rotate your pronouns to make sure they wear evenly

Actually this is outdated advice. Now they recommend you pick one pronoun but don't tell anyone what it is.

Also make sure the pronoun is complex enough.

Everybody should just have a pronoun manager and never even have to know what their own pronouns are

Using seperate pronouns while outside and at home for work-life balance.

That's just a scam so the pronoun manager corporations can collect all our pronouns and create a single point of failure for attackers to collect all pronouns.

Be sure to use a different pronoun for each site you visit.

That's why you use a self-hosted pronoun manager...

Then I end up forgetting my pronouns cause I had to change them to ones I haven't used before. It was so much easier to memorize them when I just had one set of pronouns and never had to change them.

At some point I just throw my hands up and ask IT to just assign me new pronouns every time this happens.

I just use ShepassXirCee to generate a random alphanumeric string to use for my pronouns, and save them locally in an encrypted format to copy and paste when needed

“Your pronouns must contain at least one number and one symbol.”
