What will I say? Pronouns

I start a new job next week and will be in a team of new recruits. Emails from team leader and HR demonstrate that the use of pronouns on email signatures are the norm. There's a team meeting planned and I can't get it out of my head that we might be asked to say our pronouns. How will I answer this? Without ruffling bloody feathers on my first week but whilst maintaining my beliefs?

1.Ignore
2.If pushed, smile and say breezily 'whatever you like'.
3.If pushed again, look confused and say 'why are we talking about pronouns? I thought we were here to discuss... (insert work related topic)'

Kind of my approach. I'm a freelance consultant so move around different organisations frequently. I work in engineering which tends to be less batshit then the creative industries or academia with the gender woo stuff.
