It even acknowledges choice but shows that it never has to be used unless it’s about pandering. Why with this person when they usually try to plug they/their as much possible when it’s a person’s preferred pronouns????
Allows proper plural usage without confusion

The suspect in last month's deadly rampage at a Colorado LGBTQ nightclub was charged Tuesday with 305 criminal counts in what could be the most heavily prosecuted murder case in state history, authorities said.
The charges filed against Anderson Lee Aldrich include first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault and bias-motivated crimes, District Attorney Michael Allen told the court.
Aldrich is suspected of killing five people and wounding 17 others on Nov. 19 at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Five more were injured but not by gunshots. Twelve others were victims with no visible injuries, police said…
…Lawyers on both sides asked the judge to schedule Aldrich's preliminary hearing for May.
“We have a lot of obligations already, both of us, that make it very difficulty to get something scheduled in the early spring," defense lawyer Joseph Archambault told the court.
Aldrich sat alongside defense lawyers, wearing a fluorescent lime jail uniform and appearing attentive throughout the proceeding.
Tuesday's pre-trial hearing was the first time the public saw Aldrich since Nov. 23 when the 22-year-old made an initial court appearance.
The suspect, who was roughed up by club patrons who desperately fought back during the shooting, appeared lethargic that day and struggled to sit upright in a wheelchair.
Booking mug shots showed numerous cuts all over the suspect's face, a black, swollen left eye and a bruise behind the left ear. Aldrich is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
“At the very first setting, the suspect’s demeanor and body were much different than today," Allen said after the hearing.
The suspect "walked into the courtroom today (and) appears to have healed, to some degree, form the bruising that was apparent on (Aldrich's) face at the last setting."…

Allen cited his own busy trial schedule and said defense lawyers will need time to go over all of the evidence against their client.

He shouldna oughta shoot them folks. His binary status does not afford him the right to hurt other people. Somebody should also explain to him that adults don't GAF aboot what he prefers to be called.

Exactly. I am just wondering why a news writer finally figured out how to write an article without using any personal pronouns for this one particular non-binary when usually it’s the exact opposite when one prefers they/them/theirs and forced in as much as possible without even caring if article contains proper plural usage of they/their as well.

Some folks over 35 probably wouldn’t appreciate the appellation.

With all due respect, I think the OP is kind of pointing out the lengths this reporter went to in order to avoid going anywhere near tipping off to the reader the suspect identifies as non-binary. It's the one lone tidbit of info that might make one realize the freak that shot these people might lend credence to it not being a hate crime.
Just another fun little slippery slope of a mass media gone completely off the fricking rails. Nothing to see here.

Cool. What are they?

Call them by their name and never use their pronouns:

Confusing They/Their Use
I've never had this problem, and I never will.
Someone's fantasy, make believe world will never Trump proper grammar. That's my line.
