So I've come out to others in my life as genderfluid for about a year and a half now. When asked what pronouns I prefer, I usually say any/all because I genuinely don't mind if they use masculine, feminine, or other pronouns to refer to me usually.

I have a pretty clockable voice, however, and I think when others hear "Any/All" in their head they think "Oh, well then I'll just use he/him". Like, yes, technically you're right, but I'm giving you a blank check to use whatever and you go with the most obvious and uninspired answer? Spice it up every once and a while!

90% of people never change that pronoun choice and I think they genuinely forget I'm genderfluid until I show up in feminine attire and makeup and then I get awkward looks from them. (Genuinely their fault in that case, but still)

At this point I'm considering just switching to using they/them so that at least it's a little ambiguous and convenient, but is there something I'm missing here? In y'all's experience, how do other people interact with any/all pronouns?

Edit: spelling and format mistakes
