To be fair…


English is pretty much a bastard language to start with

It means that crazy liberals weren't satisfied with bastardizing basic science (XX versus XY chromosome) so they doubled down and went after basic math (1 person versus more than one person).

I think it might mean a person with multiple personalities. It’s a plural pronoun.

They are so mentally fragile that he or she is just too much for them to bear.

We really need these folks to stop breeding

"They" is the proper pronoun for someone of an unknown gender.

Like if someone rings the doorbell and my wife answers and then they leave and I never see them, I would say, "what did they want?" because to me the gender is unknown.

If someone uses it for themself though, basically it means they are really fricking confused and/or just want attention.

When requested to be used for a one person It means that whoever what’s to be referred to in plural form is an attention seeking narcissist who knows how strange it is to used a plural pronoun for a single person and love the attention of getting offended when not used. Being referred to by chosen gender wasn’t enough attention.

I remember when it was just a placeholder until the few not identifying with she or he could figure out what they wanted to be called. At one point it was was supposed to be about acknowledgment their life before gender change, but not now that seems frowned upon and a hate crime (or maybe only trans can refer to it).

Now (or for now) It seems like it’s a catch all and used the most (or at least 1 of the preferred). Those that want to be in alphabet for attention, were abused by their groomer teachers, and/or call themselves fluid or queer (new definition not old one) also seem to use it. Even ones that supposedly get surgery and identify as a male like Ellen still include they as one of their preferred 2 pronouns.

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.

Dudes, they is proper English for a singular person of unknown gender.

It's when we know damn well the gender and still are asked to use they/them/their that it gets ridiculous.

No clue re: transwhatever


But have you never referred to someone as “they?”

Wife: “I ordered a new tv. They’ll deliver it tomorrow.”

You: “Hopefully they come early.”


Baws are extra triggered by they/them in the case you presented because of the LGTBBQ association

It means nothing. It's some made up bullshite the mentally ill yell because shouting "Look at me, I'm special!" is generally frowned upon in public. It's attention-seeking nonsense used by those unfit for normal society.

Duh. It’s a male who identifies as a female (penis removal & fauxgina optional for now) that is attracted to females, or in case of Chasity/Chaz it’s the transgender formerly known as lesbian.

Also a cross dressing transfemale lesbian is a male who identifies as female, is attracted to females, and dresses like a male.

When someone uses "they" as a pronoun, you now easily know that you are dealing with a mentally ill person.
