This feels like a hasty generalization. For example, if one is experiencing gender dysphoria, we could assume that misgendering them with their undesired pronouns would cause them psychological distress ^[1]^ — ie harm.

That is a willful misinterpretation of what I wrote.
How so? It wasn't my intent to misrepresent your words. That being said, I do apologize if I've accidentally (and potentially carelessly) misinterpreted what you said. I'll gladly fix my comment if you help me understand where my interpretation went wrong 😊
The comment was referring to preferred pronouns as just "pronouns" because the cultural zeitgeist has conflated the two. There are tons of right wing assholes that say that they "refuse to use pronouns at all" without processing the difference between "preferred pronouns" and the grammatical construct of pronouns as a whole.
The other reply has it right, but I wanted to reply to confirm.
"Pronouns" in this context almost always means "preferred pronouns" especially wrt people who have preferred pronouns that differ from those assigned at birth.
It's a bit hard to believe that someone would be aware of the study you mentioned, but not the common usage of the terms.
