So that’s a ‘they’.

Well, I’m a she and a her and I demand my legislation. I will not be referred to as a ‘they’

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?

I'm confused. "You" is the same for male and female, so what's the problem? Same for "I."
Oh, I get it! It's the third person pronoun! It's what you use when talking about someone, not to them! So they are attempting to control our speech when they aren't there!
You are not speaking to them when you use the pronoun! You are speaking about them!
At one time insanity was recognized, not worshipped.

What’s wrong with “it” for designating such people? ;^)

Never ceases to amaze me that the Bible holds all the answers to our present problems.

Not only are these people insane, they are science deniers. The genome was completely mapped in 2003. The discovery? There are only two sexes, male and female. AND, there is NO gay gene!

They should learn Tagalog! It is a very common language in California after all.

It is genderless, as are all the other Austronesian languages (the other Philippine languages, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia, etc.). Tagalog is one of the more complex languages of this family though, and is not the easiest for English speakers to learn.

However, if the idea is that a genderless language leads to ungendered behavior ... lets say that the situation among the peoples who speak the Austronesian tongues does not support that wish.

“They” is dumb. It confuses meaning. It undermines grammar.

They should use Tagalog “siya”. Its a proper word from a fully-fledged genderless language.

And he answered and said unto them,” Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,”
//////////////////////////

Exactly!

I only read the KJV translation of the Bible for this reason. Modern english language translations have perverted the original text and meaning just as they have perverted the english language. You will not find the word “homosexual” in the KJV because God only made two sexes, male and female.
The secular godless pseudo-sciences of psychology, sociology, and anthropology are controlled by satan. They “invented” a third sexual modality where none exists. Two men can never have a sexual union, they can only have pleasure. What the “social scientists” refer to as homosexuality is actually HOMOSENSUALITY. Nothing can change a male’s sexuality. He can call himself “gay”, “homosexual”, “non-binary” or whatever. HE SEXUALLY REMAINS A MALE!
Once we accepted this phony “third sexuality” we we’re trapped into accepting the nonsense that a man could change his sexuality into a woman. None of the above is ever possible. The KJV of the bible is consistent with true science since nature’s God created both.

Even the Romans recognized men as men and women as women.

No. This door swings in both directions.

Use their own political correctness to fight them. When addressed as “they” or “them” forcefully object, stating:

“That is incorrect! Please do not misgender me! My gender is not non-binary/ambiguous/indeterminate. It is (male/female). My pronouns are (him, his/her, hers (etc.)).

Now that I have told you that use of “they” or “them” in referring to me is offensive, if you continue to misgender me, use incorrect pronouns in referring to me or encourage others to do so, I will report you to the local police/human relations council for punitive action.”

That should cause a thoughtful pause in the conversation.

I suppose a private company could enforce any rule they’d like, but elected officials should not be forcing anyone through legislation to conform to their perversions.
