Topic	'If you dont know someone's gender, just say they/them'

My boomer parents: it's a travesty of the English language, it's an outrage, you can't say anything anymore, people are so sensitive, what is the world coming to, rabble rabble rabble my only issue is why they had to choose an existing word, especially one that represents plural. I have no problem calling a MtF a she/her, or a FtM a he/him. Heck, since somehow its a sensitive topic I will just look away and keep my opinion to myself if a muscular testicle haver is going to have a boxing match with a slim ovary bearer or whatever terms people are using now, just because I dont want to offend anyone. but for decades weve been taught they/them is plural and now it is not. it gets super confusing. --- Rip and Tear! <cite>DOOM-64 posted [p:972790409] in 'If you do...
