This is you, happily using a singular they. Like every english speaker, you are happy to use it when you don’t know the gender of the person you’re speaking about, or it is irrelevant. If i was to talk about you to someone else i could say “they don’t like using preferred pronouns” because i don’t know your gender.

That’s all that’s being asked of you. Don’t assume a gender. If that is uncomfortable, perhaps you should explore that discomfort, instead of running away from it.
