Apologies for the delay but here they are. As per usual, if your pronouns aren't in the list, please comment them here and I'll see that they get added.
UPDATE: “Undecided” and “None/Use Name” have now been added.

You should just change it to a box where people can enter whatever they want.

We can just ban them.
I'd be concerned about people seeing the site for the first time, thinking those pronouns are a joke, and feeling alienated as a result. I'm cis, though, so I'll defer to others in saying how likely that might be.
trans people are deeply unlikely to have that reaction. acceptance and tolerance for this stuff is part of the culture.

yea, this would be good too for anyone who’s uses nounself pronouns too, since there’s basically an infinite amount of those and it feels like more and more people use them nowadays. makes it easier to use joke ones tho but it’d still be dope.
We've already had instances of spammers somehow slipping in custom flair and using it for memes. I can guarantee with 100% certainty the pronoun tags will be used for F tier memes at the expense of giving trans people a sense of validation and acceptance in this community if we open it up to an input box.
But allowing cat/girl because it is an in joke makes this look like a meme too. You either have to gatekeep and allow only widely accepted pronouns or allow everyone to fill in whatever and ban those who are clearly taking the piss. This halfway solution of allowing user suggestions that are highly specific to them or just jokes is a halfway solution that, to me, neither makes it look serious or gives enough freedom to users.
edit: and with this system the discussion about what is/isn't a joke and what should be deleted from the list will always come up and it has to go through the mods, who then might have discussions amongst themselves. This clearly will end nowhere as there is no objective standard to judge something personal like this. The only thing that can temper this debate is allowing zero user input or direct user input
