Replace this: When you're writing about a real person, use the pronouns that person prefers,

With this: When you're writing about a real person, use the pronouns that person uses,

Context: The term "prefers" suggests optionality, whereas a person's pronouns are more than just a preference. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7766835/
