Explanation: Latin looks and sounds cool, but it is a Hell Language with infinite declensions and conjugations and other minor grammatical nuances. You want to learn someone’s pronouns in Latin? Best get a paper and pad, it’ll take a while. Pronouns aren’t as important in Latin, though, as it’s a pro-drop language. Context usually fills in for pronouns.
Also, mandatory statement that ‘they/them’ is a perfectly good singular gender-neutral pronoun and I will die on this hill.
‘they/them’ is a perfectly good singular gender-neutral pronoun and I will die on this hill.
As someone who’s first language is not gendered, they are all stupid, but it isn’t really “perfectly good singular pronoun” until English speakers accept to grammatically use it like a singular to differentiate it from the plural - e.g he is tall and she has a red shirt -> they is tall and they has a red shirt.
If you are talking about a singular person for more than a sentence it’s awkward as hell. They/them is just dumb. There two sexes two genders. We based them in biological sexes and there aren’t any others.
Man and woman is made up bro. Think we just found pronouns, and pink is for boys, blue is for girls, on the ground? See, it’s funny because that’s how colors used to be gendered! It’s all made up, none of it actually matters. What matters is not being a dick to people. You should try it.
How can you not at least understand what an intersex person is? People like you don’t even understand biology yet it’s all you want to talk about. It’s actually sad, just sad.
The pronoun “they” has been used to refer to the singular since the beginning of time (or since it started being used in middle and modern English anyhoo). Love, someone with an MA in English Language.

Big yikes. That kind of enbyphobia isn’t welcome here. You can leave it at the door or get out.
Appreciate the edit. Please refrain from such comments in this mag in the future.
Lol nonbinary is made up bro. Be a man or a woman. That’s your choice.
Oh, so the edit wasn’t because I requested you refrain from that kind of talk. I guess you can get the fuck out.
OK let me get this straight, are you OK with transfolks, but not folks betwixt? what a strange hill to die on.
