Are these pronouns real?

Applying for a new job and this literally was the second question after asking my name...I can't figure out if they're being real - they even have a box to enter your own "custom pronoun" what can I write in there and be unique?

Are these pronouns real?

In the custom box I’d write N/A.

This is the sensible option!

(but I would be tempted to go with Hee/Haw because I LOVE donkeys)

How do you pronounce Hu?

Just H (phonetic way) with a silent U? Hugh? More like Who?

Or is just said in a completely random way and is actually 'Achoo' (like a sneeze)

Apparently it comes from the word human.
Don't know how pronounced.
/h/ /you/ maybe - like the start of human? 🤷‍♀️

Fucking hu hu 🤦‍♀️ What is wrong with these people?

If some gobshite decides on faery pronouns do the entire company have to learn them, and use them in the gobshite's absence (which is the only way pronounce are used)??
I'd be withdrawing my application sharpish.

I fucking hope not. I can just about cope with they/them but the rest… no chance.

This is the problem though, right? If you don’t play along you’ve no chance of the job!
