I have no problem using the pronoun of the sex they present as. None of this 'they' bullshit for non-binaries. ...uhhhh I used they because I am talking about a theoretical person that could be either. Yes, a person of undetermined gender A single, individual And you don't see the issue No, are you able to articulate it? So for a completely theoretical person you'll use "they/ them" pronouns, as that's grammatically correct. But the same also applies to real-world people. Example: you see a man grab a backpack at a store and he runs off with it. A girl frantically runs by and asks what happened to her bag. You tell her a man ran off with it. She then asks "did you see where they ran to?" despite knowing it was a man. Still grammatically correct and the information surs requesting you convey would be entirely unaffected. So then, now that I've explained pronouns, a third grade concept that you hopefully had some grasp of by 6th grade which is the absolute latest you should have started writing 5 paragraph essays... Do you understand how using they for theoretical people but not real life people makes you seem like an insufferable jerk? --- Pew pew! <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:913971352] in People who...
