[Serious] Is "they" pronoun completely harmless for any person?

[minto koneko]

I often see "they" pronoun in Off-Topic thread. I'm just curious to know details.

I'm not a native English speaker, and used to believe that there are only two genders. Fortunately, that's a thing of the past.

people may believe in a split personality that causes them to act uncontrollably, and the suggestion of plurality may trigger them.

I has been in common usage for a long time, maybe 100-200 years. These days people got angry about it because they thought they didn't like change.

Oh, as always, another thing that depends on context. Thank you.

Any language evolves with time.

Yeah. But bad people think this is a modern thing and get mad about it because they associate it with woke culture even though they have been doing it themselves since they were 3.

I'm not sure most of these people are bad. Just a thing they should reimagine.

I wanted to write that you have a cute pfp and had to rebuild the sentence.

What to do in this case: "They are a cute fluffy shark"?

They say 'they' is a menace but it has been hiding in plain sight since before Chaucer.

they (pron.)[www.etymonline.com]
c. 1200, from a Scandinavian source (Old Norse þeir, Old Danish, Old Swedish þer, þair), originally masculine plural demonstrative pronoun, from Proto-Germanic *thai, nominative plural pronoun, from PIE *to-, demonstrative pronoun (see that). Gradually replaced Old English hi, hie, plurals of he, heo "she," hit "it" by c. 1400. Colloquial use for "anonymous people in authority" is attested from 1886. They say for "it is said" is in Milton.[/url]
