Just curious, why do you indulge him with a "they"?

He did lie to that tribunal about his "parts", obviously, as if we didn't know that. I guess because it wasn't a real court there's no contempt or perjury.

It's a relic from Reddit and other SM. From a time, even now, when we have to deal with getting banned or sitebanned for not using pronouns. Look at Glinner, one of a country's most famous creators, and he's banned yesterday for saying "men aren't women tho." And we all know Murphy got banned for that same exact phrase and who bragged about the ban on her.

"They" is a neutral pronoun; grammatically incorrect but neutral. The singular version would be "it," which no one uses.

You know, there are some people for whom “it” seems appropriate. I’d never thought of it, but...

Oh wow, I had no idea about Glinner getting banned.

Was this the creep who thought women go to the bathroom together to help each other with tampons? wtf is with the trans fetishists and menstruation?

Virulently racist as well. Targeted immigrant women who were much less likely to have the knowledge and social capital to navigate the legal system.

Not to mention soliciting minors and that unholy Elmo video.

OMG, I remember that one. The woman who brought that forth lives in Washington state and JY sent it to her when she was 14. JY then claimed publicly to Blaire in the video they had no idea who the woman was when he says her name over and over.

Bad news, his sentencing got moved back to 8/31 now because of coronavirus.
