   if we can collectively pretend that a man flies around the world in 24 hours on a sleigh with reindeer then we can use they/them for a single person. it’s not difficult

     @abdullah_nimer @Miriamm If we can read and understand Shakespeare using they/them for a single person of unknown gender we can do it for a nonbinary person today

     @GreenSkyOverMe @Miriamm what about the people that don't pretend that?

     @abdullah_nimer @Miriamm If I referred to you as she/her even though your pronouns are he/his/him you would be right to complain and tell me to stop. If I said I disagree with you and you have to accept whatever pronoun I feel like using for you and you mustn‘t “force” me to use he for you I would be wrong. The same goes for nonbinary people.

     @GreenSkyOverMe @Miriamm i don't even read that. what i am respectuflly saying is not everything applies to everyone. some people might not agree with you and that's perfectly fine. no forcing people to do whatever though. that's always bad.
