    Excellent. The sooner this stupidity ends, the better. You’re not a “they.” You’re a man or a woman and if you struggle to accept your body then you should see a therapist.

      Trans and nonbinary people have existed for as long as humanity has. Your perception of this “stupidity” as new is the result of people finally overcoming hundreds of years of religious programming; bigotry that has been passed down for generations as superstitious fear anyone presenting in an unfamiliar way, and people are now more willing to express themselves as they actually feel, rather than as they feel they must in order to protect themselves.

      Here’s a short piece of a lecture by a Stanford professor explaining how wrong you are. https://youtu.be/8QScpDGqwsQ

      Did you notice that you have no problem using the gender-neutral pronoun “you” in this comment?

      It’s almost like this isn’t something you actually care about, but just see as something to justify irrational hatred of people. That’s kinda weird, lady.

      Bro this and that has literally nothing to do with each other. “They” has been used for when you don’t know the person’s gender since the 15th century.

            Uhh, what?

            Looks like the people who have problems with ‘he and she’ are the ones who want something to be angry about.

      I’ve found America is pretty much the only nation where ideas like these have gotten hold.

      The rest of the word recognizes it for what it is and just decides to steer clear.
