“Absolutely heartbreaking. Summer Taylor was only 24-years-old, peacefully protesting for Black Lives Matter when they were struck by a car. Thinking of their family during this difficult time and everyone in the movement today.”

The pronoun police are happy about that. No, Kamala isn’t referring to the other victim as well. This tweet is referring to one person.

Which is grammatically incorrect.

I think you mean “deceased?”

As for the pronouns, I hear it 20 times a day, so I’m desensitized to it.
Just another progressive attention getter.

Shutting down public streets, surrounding people, and pounding on vehicles is peaceful?

Plenty of other examples on twitter showing this was on purpose.

“IF YOU'RE GOING TO POST ABOUT SUMMER TAYLOR PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THEY USED THEY/THEM PRONOUNS AND YOU SHOULD NOT REFER TO THEM USING SHE/HER”

“PSA: Summer Taylor was nonbinary & used they/them pronouns. Even in our outrage, let's honor them and speak about them accurately. Rest in Power.”

“Summer Taylor was gender nonconforming. They used they/them pronouns. Don’t give clicks to articles that misgender them.”

“RIP Summer Taylor. They died tonight in the hospital after being hit by a car on I5 in Seattle while protesting last night.”

It was a black male driving the car not woman.

Did he use “they” because he has multiple personalities and he doesn’t want to leave any of them out?

I get that. After the collision, medics may have brought poor Summer to the hospital on multiple stretchers.

Where's the fricking whore's sympathy for the nearly 1 thousand law enforcement officers who have been injured, some murdered, since that one incident in Minnesota took place?

How about expressing your concern for "they/them," bitch?

I’m a professor.
My students and colleagues use all kinds of pronouns.
If I include email signatures, it may even be more often than 20.

Summer and Love were NOT “ peacefully protesting” they were illegally closing public roads with the implicit threat of violence to further the racist agenda of OnlyBLM (OBLM).

And reviewing photos of Summer and Love I think IT is the definitive pronoun for each.
