“They/them pronouns are stupid”

[FutureMint]

Sam's voice in this is deeper than that existential crisis I had a few days ago /j /lh

Wait until the anti-pronoun crowd learns that “me” “you” and “we” are pronouns 😱

[Doveghost]

Imagine if people started going around hating on singular "you" and brought old English back because "you can't use plural 'you' if you're one person"

[Catnapper]

i am 5 raccoons in a trench coat. yes i am multiple people
edit: and also there are cats in this trench coat

Thank you Sam but please go to sleep it feels like you made this at 2AM

[irishdrunk]

I have an easy fix, I call everyone mistakes or assholes or various other insults

[SuperTonyony]

I'm not pronoun. I'm strongly antinoun. I only use verbs.

[LesbianWitchAcademia]

Me when I point out that the Singular They is so ingrained into the modern English vernacular that opposing someone wanting to use They exclusively is stupid

[lemakim]

They/Them as singular is used when gender is unknown to speaker, not because a person does not like or want to acknowledge their true gender. This makes more sense and is more logical than people randomly choosing their pronouns. It IS confusing in many circumstances because we still use they/them in plural as well. Even if it wasnt confusing or stupid, people dont want to change language unless there is a really good reason. Being "binary" is not a good reason to most people. Its not even a thing to most people. Why? Bc you cannot escape being either male or female, you just can't. Nobody wants you to not be able to, you just can't!

one day someone will inevitably say this to me and i will laugh for they are incorrect in every way. for i am multiple people. i pull my DID card!! i am immune to this stupid point/joke!

disclaimer: im diagnosed and non-binary, this is all light hearted ♡

[hellrose]

If none of you have ever realized, the only time you refer to a singular person as they or them is when you're not in their presence

[pibawww]

They can also be singular like when you dont know someones gender you say they 💀

[CEAsfg]

I identify as an ambulance

My pronouns are wee/woo

[riveramnell]

I am a murder of crows in a flesh suit. Call me whatever helps you deal with that. 😂

[Kit_Katttttttt]

I say we start countering my seriously dead on looking them in the eyes and saying “I am multiple people”

[Jcon]

Calling 1 person a plural pronoun makes no sense at all

[riarivera]

"why cant i call them what i wanna call them?"

"Okay, Daryl"

"My name is Dan"

"Sorry Denis"

[umbralflow]

Zack said they will come to the party. Am I talking about Zack, Zack and a friend, or a group of people that told Zack they are coming. This is the reason They/Them has issues

[woundead]

I had a “they/them” friend throughout high school. Even though it’s technically grammatical correct for singular use, it only works in certain social situations otherwise it’s unclear. You have to constantly clarify and it gets even more confusing when you are talking about multiple people along with the person. This is why this pronoun doesn’t actually work, because in English you shouldn’t have to constantly clarify what you mean.
The actual correct gender neutral pronoun is “it.”

1. It is stupid 2. It’s natural and Normal to call people by female or male pronouns. It has nothing to do about wanting to call someone what they want to call them and all about calling them what they actually are. The whole thing is so dumb.
