    If you are talking about a singular person for more than a sentence it’s awkward as hell. They/them is just dumb. There two sexes two genders. We based them in biological sexes and there aren’t any others.

      Roses are red,
      Violets are blue.
      Singular they
      Pre-dates singular you.

      Man and woman is made up bro. Think we just found pronouns, and pink is for boys, blue is for girls, on the ground? See, it’s funny because that’s how colors used to be gendered! It’s all made up, none of it actually matters. What matters is not being a dick to people. You should try it.

      How can you not at least understand what an intersex person is? People like you don’t even understand biology yet it’s all you want to talk about. It’s actually sad, just sad.

      Big yikes. That kind of enbyphobia isn’t welcome here. You can leave it at the door or get out.

      Appreciate the edit. Please refrain from such comments in this mag in the future.

          Oh, so the edit wasn’t because I requested you refrain from that kind of talk. I guess you can get the fuck out.

      The pronoun “they” has been used to refer to the singular since the beginning of time (or since it started being used in middle and modern English anyhoo). Love, someone with an MA in English Language.
