I thought my old fat white hetero self would eventually figure it out on my own, but it has been a few years now. I want someone to explain this to me.
I can understand if a tranny wants to be referred to as a she. OK, I get it.
I can understand if a butch lesbian wants to be referred to as a he. I can understand it.
What in the frick is a "they" pronoun?

The thing that triggers me the most about the they/them tranny pronouns bullshite is they is a plural pronoun that person is using as a singular pronoun. It's a bastardization of the English language.

I think "they" pertains to people like Jim Carrey from Me Myself and Irene

They is used by those who call themselves nonbinary or gender nonconforming. Maybe it is because I taught English for years but I am simply unable to refer to a single person as they. There are,however, circumstances in which it would be appropriate to use we in reference to a single person.

It's for idiots who think they're so special they don't have to pick either category.

Nothing has pissed me off more, concerning language, since the movement to do away with the Oxford comma began.
Both of these instances irk, annoy, and irritate the shite out of me.

It is common with royalty but also multiple personalities, demon possession, and having a mouse in one's pocket.

It can be singular for an unknown person.
