Because they are shallow narcissists who desire an uncommon terminology to describe themselves. This is part of the insanity of people believing gender equates to "sexual identity" instead of it being simply a placeholder for biological sex (as it has been throughout history since the beginnings of recorded languages).

I make it simple for my fat white hetero self. I just don't play that game. All of that is nonsense and it is their problem, not mine. There, I said it.

And one would be right. One can refer to oneself as such, but one runs the risk of sounding pretentious

Indeed, but that’s because we don’t have a standard gender neutral singular pronoun
In other languages, it sounds no different than any of the singular “they” examples in this thread.

You mean except for all of those languages that assign a gender to inanimate objects, right?

They is them and them is they. We are one. The dudes have converged into the almighty pyramid sage. Woe to the non-believers
