Are pronoun pins a thing in germany?

Hallo! I am a Brazilian trans man planing on spending a few months in germany (bavaria) this year. I am absolutely not passing as a man: most people look at me and assume i am a lesbian (girl with masc clothes and short hair), or, at best, a 12yo boy - that is, until they hear my high pitched voice.

Id like to know if its common for queer people in germany to have pronoun pins, like the ones that say "he/him", because it would make me much more comfortable to have them on during my trip.
Do you "announce" your pronouns? Like, "Hi my name is Josh and i go by he/they"?
Also how should i even write that? "er/der/den"?

If you have any other tips for queer (especially trans) tourists in bavaria, id be very happy to know! Danke schon!

Edit: big thanks for everyone who took their time to reply! Lots of love, your help will surely make my trip much better.

Also, for those who asked, i will be staying in Nurnberg. Is the political climate at least okay there for trans folks?
