If someone's pronouns are any/all, what should I use or how should I determine how to refer to you and what pronouns to use?

I want to be respectful but if they say they don’t care what pronouns I use for them, that feels like it puts the decision on me to choose what to call them and I guess I would probably default to “they” because choosing a gender for them feels weird… am I wrong?

I’m probably the least qualified person to comment on this, but I would probably just default to their name.

Those are Sarah’s keys.

Less chance of fucking it up, IMO
