You subconcsiously use it all the time. You are a shithead if you don't use it when people ask.

You are a shithead if you don't use it when I ask.

It really blows my mind that some people think singular "they" has anything to do with the trans/pronouns/gender discussion.

It's just basic English. Even my gf who has only spoken English for like 5 years knows that.

Yes we use it now. We use it when it doesnt sound awkward and goofy in a sentence.

Its not fucking hard to use the pronouns someone prefers. I automatically assume the people with problems with it are the same people who absolutely insist on calling casual acquaintances by a nickname they detest. Its being the same kind of asshole, just much more so.

Elaborate on where I could've used a singular they in my post. I have not referred to TC in the third person and under the premises of the topic, that's unjustified

I find the pronoun shit so fucking stupid, but out of respect, I'll use a person's preferred pronouns.

Pronouns are an extremely basic part of nearly all languages. What "pronoun shit" are you referring to?

No shit.

I'm talking about people who want to be referred to by wacky pronouns.

Its grammatically incorrect, though. People has used improper grammar since the language was invented, really.

In no way is this statement true.

It is rare if not impossible for a native speaker to produce an ungrammatical utterance without trying.
