Serious question, I'm not sure what it means.

It means that someone feels comfortable being addressed as he or them.

It's someone's preferred pronouns with regards to the gender they identify as. Some people don't fit as either "male" or "female" so they use the "they/them" pronouns.

I get that, but in this specific case, they are ok with male or the gender neutral they?

I assume it's like "he or they in general", and not specific to tenses.

Hm. This is food for evil topics.

I'll call anyone whatever they want but she/theirs or he/theirs, for example, seems confusing. I'm sure I'd understand if someone explained it but I haven't talked with anyone irl who requests it.

Stuff people read from a dictionary, they apply to their own namesake as if it means anything but it just words from a dictionary in the end of the day.
Whether you use it or not changes nothing, life will still continue

No. I'm just saying people pick up stuff they read or hear and apply it to themselves as if it had any meaning.
But it really doesn't mean anything. After all we are talking about english words that have been used as descriptors, pronouns, nouns, adjectives for hundreds of years...

I feel like you could use a lesson on objectivity and subjectivity.

I suppose.
But in a day and age where people's lives are dominated by social media trends...
The lines may be blurred along the way!
