I'd like to note — in respecting the fact that we are now a state recognizing the non-binary designation as a gender — he and she, we are now merging them so we are using what my grammar teacher would have had a heart attack over: we are using the phrase ‘they’ and replacing other designations so it's a gender neutral designation: ‘they,’”


They are insane.

What do the Spanish speakers do. Every word is gender.

Historical stupidity. I mean even the Romans so long ago recognized men as men and women as women.

So, if you’re angry at someone, do you say “Screw they?”

Just refer to everybody as “comrade”. That should work.

CA legislators should be addressed with one phrase, “Hey, mo-fo”.
Not exactly gender neutral, but so very appropriate.

“They” is a plural word, meaning two or more people.

If you’re talking about an individual man or woman, how does the word “they” apply?

Like you said, they are insane.

This is what they spend their time on. They must be done with everything important or something.

This is a trap for normal people. As soon as a normal person uses a normal pronoun he will be attacked. He will be ripped apart and shredded.

Won’t be long before it’s a crime. Wait! it already is!

Reality is what is always was. Changing words doesn’t change reality, but a$$holes think it does.

Eventually, government edicts will dictate that, when dating someone, that you must also date someone from the opposite sex, just to not discriminate against any gender. All dating will be blind dates, with no idea of the genders to be met.

Equality in everything is denial of nature. It’s unnatural. It’s nonsensical. It’s pure evil. It’s a Godless existence.

The correct pronoun to use would be *it*.

*They* is plural while *he/she/it* are singular.

DEMOCRATS are on record as desiring to be able to “regulate” American’s speech and now they are. Good luck boys and girls.

Using the pronoun ‘they’ suggests more than one person. So, people who insists on using the word ‘they’ are admitting that the person being referred to is a schizophrenic? Heap big trouble ‘they’ are creating!

So the women’s movement will now be the “They” movement?
