Good for you being the arbitrator of what is acceptable for how other people live their lives. That’s sure a big responsibility! Running with your example, I’m now using the only two pronouns I feel comfortable using for people like you: gobshite/broomstick.
Look at broomstick over here. Gobshite actually thinks that language rules are immutable instead of a consensus amongst users! Gobshite is silly and clearly lacks any linguistics knowledge, but the most ignorant are often the most confident.
It’s really up to broomstick, but gobshite already gave us carte blanche to use our personal pronoun preferences on others. I’m going to say it’s at the user’s discretion.
Happy to call someone a real pronoun. He/him she/her they and any combination of those.
I will no call someone a dragon. Nor will I call them anything else like that.

Gobshite and broomstick are names. You can call me them if you’d like, but that’s not my name.

Yeah. Look at that broomstick!!
No one know who you are talking about because those names aren’t referring to anyone specifically.
I’ve try though. High five.
Shouldn’t that be “Gobshite are silly and clearly lack any linguistics knowledge”?

I do appreciate the entertainment.
These comments are making my point better than I could.
Thanks for the support.
The pronoun in question is Drag. You’re thinking about the name, which is no more ridiculous than Richard.
Drag is a name. If that’s what someone wants to be called, that’s fine but it isn’t a pronoun.
