If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

If you have no preferred pronouns, just say (none) or something

This will help make people feel more comfortable in this comm and has a side effect of showing you support trans people when making comments in other communities. It will also make reactionaries seethe and make it easier for mods to purge them, and make trans people feel safer all over the fediverse.

"Any" is an option, "Use Name" is also an option.

Both of which identify you as not cis, thus they are not options in the very common case where that is an issue.

No, they don't. I personally know a cis person who has their pronouns on hexbear set as they/them or comrade/them. Those aren't the pronouns they use in real life.

If someone assumes you're trans simply because your pronouns are set to something other than she/her or he/him, that's kind of on them. People are allowed to lie on the internet. Choose any pronouns you like, it doesn't matter.

I personally assume absolutely nothing about the cisness or transness of someone with "any" or "none/use name" as their pronouns of choice.
