Does it even affect dialogue? The PC is hardly ever referred to with pronouns, actually I can't remember a single line.

I believe it changes enemy barks like "He/She/They shot him!" and maybe a few dialogue lines?

Heh, I like how the enemies are considerate enough to figure out and use the correct pronouns mid-battle

Hey, you! What are your pronouns? ... Thanks, now eat lead!

I might be a paid killer, but I'll be damned if I'll misgender someone. Professionals have standards.

They definitely use your pronouns a lot. It's all they refer to you as, aside from cute nicknames like "Dusty," or "rook" or "renegade." Probably doesn't stand out if you chose your normal pronouns, since they'd just be say he/him or she/her or they/them.
