Gender Criticals have decided to use "they/them" as an insult for people they don't deem worthy of being called "she/her" and suddenly they understand exactly how to construct sentences with a gender neutral pronoun.

They're so up their own ass in their victimhood mentality to lack the cognitive ability to figure out that we use "they" and "them" because they are collective words used by the speaker to address a group of people, not gender-sensitive snowflake individuals. I've been addressing unknown individuals with "he" because that was the Old English gender neutral word if you don't know the individual's sex. No one here is pandering to them, we are all using proper English and they are just looking to be offended by any little thing. Drama queens.

Actually some GC people will call TiMs and TiFs "they" instead of the proper pronoun to avoid offending them.

that was the Old English gender neutral word if you don't know the individual's sex

Speaking of Old English, we really need to start calling men "weremen" again and allow "men" to be gender-neutral, as opposed to changing every word that has man at the end (policeman, fireman, congressman, mailman, ect.).

No it is to avoid being banned by twitter.

Yikes, I don't use Twitter. They'll ban you just for that?

Yes, misgendering is a bannable offence. That's why Meghan Murphy was banned, she replied "yes that's him" to a photo of mr-wax-my-balls and was banned.
