Would you use the preffered pronouns

[Vault Hunter 101]

Imagine you meet a person and you see a massive "My pronouns are xe/xim/xir" pin on them. Would you call them xe/xim/xir or would you use "traditional" he/she pronouns when talking with them? If yes/no please say why

Using "they" as singular is only for specific circumstances, not all.

What specific circumstances? I can't think of any circumstance where it isn't interchangeable with he or she, personally.

Do you use "he/she" to refer to multiple people at once?

No, that is singular.

So then why would one use "they" to refer as singular everytime?

Because "they" can be used as a singular pronoun and has been for centuries.

That's what they want you to think.

No it hasn't. During the period it was used as singular we used Thee thy and Thou, and "You" was third perosn plural. We moved "You" to second person subject and object, cut thee and thous, and moved they to plural and he to neutral to make things more streamlined. If you're going to sue Oxfords research please use ALL of it.

You use they when it's absolutely obvious on the circumstance that your are referring to a singular person. What would happen if you started using they/them all the time? It'd be confusing to anyone that doesn't know who you're referring to and they may think that you are referring to multiple people.

Thank you. I can bring back the practical example if needed but people need to grasp how important closed forms of speech are

how is that a "return to education rather than indoctrination"
that is literally upholding the status quo unquestioningly


but i'm not a projector, i'm a girl

School is a place of learning(even if said learning is questionably effective or not), not to learn about the 300 hundred existing pronouns. (And however more they add)

you didn't think through what you said did you

Why are you thanking him? Shouldn't you be reprimanding him for using 'they' in a singular form, as you did earlier?

You're correct, I misread his post, my bad

[sleeps]

that being said, i rather be neutral to gendered people.

[Volfogg]

Well, I'd rather be hostile to people equally. Very hostile.

i think you quoted the wrong person

can't find who asked, but i'm sure you can do that and fix your post
