Yes, the obvious woman who struggled in Hollywood before switching to “they/them”
Trans people at least have the balls (no pun intended) to just fully commit and live their lives fearlessly, which I can respect.
They/them is some wishy-washy “LOOK AT ME I’M DIFFERENT TOO! I AM, I REALLY AM! TELL ME I‘M BRAVE!” Demi Lovato fence-sitting garbage that is just obnoxious.
Uh I think they prefer Themi Lovato
Old Joe really did a number on these guys
For some reason, you saying that made me think of this song, and this verse in particular.
Old Joe knows they all had secrets
They all had secrets they took to the grave
Old Joe knows the secrets don’t die
Secrets don’t die on the burying day
Old Joe knows the hearse will be comin
The hearse comes rollin when the church bell tolls
Tomorrow morning they’ll be prayin and preachin
Prayin and preachin right over this hole
Yesterday, All American fascist Trash said he will round up all cities' homeless and dump them on cheap land in a camp
Beep Bop would you like another cup of Shut The Up?
Meh. I don't get it either, but I also think "they" is easier to work into conversation than a completely new word. People already use "they" to describe someone if they don't know the gender. Ex: "Someone slammed into the back of my car and then they drove off."
Wouldn't be surprised if this is a fad that goes away within the next ten years. Seems like preteen / teenage kids don't commit to the bit for very long.
It's not that different than articles for neuter nouns in other languages, like das in German.
Germans have had centuries of experience with "das" in the context of nouns and they might have even more complexities with how their language addresses nonbinary people.
This article for example...

Whenever I write a German text, be it academic or not, I try to choose synonyms for generic nouns, and I use the asterisk (*) for words where I cannot find a synonym or where the synonym sounds too strange to me. I agree that especially for foreigners, it can be hard to know which gender-inclusive form of writing they want to use. Underscore, slash, asterisk, naming both versions? I’m sorry, guys (and women and everybody else), it’s complicated.
There is no third pronoun such as the English “they”. We only have “sie/ihr” (female) and “er/ihn/ihm” (male) — the neutral “es/ihn/ihm” is usually not used for people. If a person identifies as non-binary, a German would be more comfortable avoiding the pronoun and just saying the name all the time: “Joe hat gesagt…, Hast du Joe gefragt?, Sag mal bitte Joe…” (Joe said, Did you ask Joe?, Please tell Joe…).
Yeah, I am definitely not a native/fluent speaker, but it made some sort of sense to me.
The whole concept of gendering inanimate objects like in German or Spanish is sort of fascinating. Like where did that start? Who decided a "book" is male but a "library" is female?
Is it because the book goes in the library?
Bend over, I'll show you a in' hard right shift.
I am not sure, it is a bit confusing but it wasn't too hard to just memorize in middle and high school.
