I use he/him pronouns because I'm a caveman (emphasis on man) and I associate identifying as male/a man/a boy/a guy/ a dude/a member of the superior gender (obviously /j) with male pronouns. Anything else makes me very uncomfortable, especially she/her because of fairly obvious reasons. I don't despise they/them being used to refer to me but it's a bit of a reminder that I don't quite pass which is not great.
The thing about Hebrew though is that it's a bit like French in the sense that plural pronouns are also gendered so there isn't a neutral pronoun, so that really sucks for nb peeps, though from my experience they usually just flip flop with singular pronouns (אתה/הוא [ata/hu] or את/היא [at/hi] meaning you and he/she respectively). It's very interesting to listen to because you can hear them use a, per example, feminine pronoun and then masculine verb or adjective, bit confusing at first but still interesting.
