they/them as singular gender neutral pronoun

[Joe Biden]

What do you think of they/them being used as a singular gender neutral pronoun? Do you use it or is it libtarded? I'm specially curious about what EFLs think.

I only use it if I don't know the person's sex, because that is the correct grammar in the shit language that is english.
I'm a latin language user though (not a spic, no hables espanol nor portuges), and this doesn't happen in muh language.
Here, if there's a group of female and males, you call it by the male pronoun because the masculine dominates (actual grammatical rule btw). If you don't know the gender, by default, it's male.

I do this.

It does that

Neopronouns are gemmy

Sometimes you either don't know or don't care about the gender of the person you're talking about and they/them is just the logical choice

>tranny react out of nowhere
ayayay chuddies can't help themselves

 

[SoySpotter]

I do this to people a lot without realizing

 

[JC Denton]

I hate it. You're a man or a woman, simple as.

What if I'm talking about some who I don't know. Not even xer gender.

 

[PepsiMan]

they/them is for things that you don't know the gender of or want to keep concealed (for example whistleblower from Nestle uses they/them to conceal xhimself even more o algo)

 

[Schadenfreude]

it's retarded. i feel like the only valid instances to use they/them pronoun is when referring to a group of people or someone whose gender you do not know

Very rarely acceptable, still preferable to use he or she based on context, if no sufficient context is available use "the person in question" or the person's title. Using they/them facilitates the idea that gender and sex are insignificant, not to mention it's prone to causing confusion

Sometimes they are

Appearance. Adam's apple and hands if gender is obfuscated.

"Somebody dropped their wallet" is grammatically correct. If it's for being non-binary or whatever it's retarded.

Nigga I didn't mean that. I meant that the person is not present or we don't exactly know the identity of the person we're talking about.

 

[DonutHole]

i think they're cutest pronouns :3 i want every1 on the shlog to use them when reffering to me :) thank you.

 

[nucobcaca]

I only use they in the case I don't know if someone is male or female.
Example: We lost the suspect. They were masked and stole a chevy.
Note: Gender is not real. You are either a male with a cock or a female with a pussy.
