    They would all be non-gendered pronouns.

    “I”, “you”, and"we" are singular pronouns with no gender specification. They/Them, while technically commonly taught as plural, has taken on the role of is being used more often as a singular pronoun. Whatever takes the place of he/she would be something we simply don’t associate a gender or sex with.

      They had always been both singular and plural. Wiktionary says the singular for a person previously referred to where gender is irrelevant or unknown had been around since the 14th century

      The only new singular variant is where the person identifies as non-binary
