But for an ever-increasing group of people who describe themselves as non-bisexual or who consciously do not want to express themselves about their gender, these pronouns are no longer sufficient.

If the pronouns you want are not yet in the list, you can submit a request to add additional options. Just writing an alternate option yourself isn’t possible, perhaps to avoid silly and sexist jokes.
