What would you put in a form when it demands you fill in the pronoun box or it won't submit, and there is a danger said pronouns will be printed on the name badges? It's a professional conference.

I don't think it's my business to police what other people say about my apparent sex@alcovecupboards . I just want them to not ask or at least don't make it mandatory to reply on the form to book the conference

I would contact the organisers and quote Principle 6 of the Yogyakarta Principles
"Everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, is entitled to the enjoyment of privacy without arbitrary or unlawful interference, including with regard to their family, home or correspondence as well as to protection from unlawful attacks on their honour and reputation. The right to privacy ordinarily includes the choice to disclose or not to disclose information relating to one’s sexual orientation or gender identity, as well as decisions and choices regarding both one’s own body and consensual sexual and other relations with others." (https://yogyakartaprinciples.org/principle-6/)

You are not obliged to state your gender identity.

Your pronouns?

Nobody owns pronouns, the whole point of them is that they're placeholders for a noun. If you're talking about how OP wishes others to address her, I imagine for most of us that would be "you" rather than "thou".
