        I think you mean “what if the men and women think men and women should be referred to by different pronouns”. Can’t use “they” any more, remember.

        But everyone is free to think whatever they want, so long as they don’t go around telling other people how to live their lives when it’s not hurting anyone.

          No, you can still use they when referring to multiple people or those of unknown sex.

          Might want to brush up on your English if this is news to you.

            They is grammatically correct for a single person so I’m not even kind of sure what you mean here

              I never said it was incorrect. The problem is forcing people to use ‘they’ when they’d rather use he or she.

                The poster above me here is absolutely right, she shouldn’t be forced to use the wrong pronouns. It might make her uncomfortable.

                  Yeah, nah. I grew out of that phase in elementary school.

                  You can call me whatever you want, I’m not some child who lets it affect me.
