This is unnecessarily cynical. Why should people who are androgynous or trans be the only ones who state pronouns? By creating a norm around it we can improve their comfort at extremely minimal cost to ourselves.

I disagree, but HN is probably not the right place for this kind of debate. Also, it seems that you don't follow your own recommendation (on HN at least).
They brought it upon themselves by indulging in sex mimicry. It's not the responsibility of anyone else to mitigate this.
And it's not necessarily a good thing to normalise wrong-sex pronouns, see e.g. https://fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns/
