There's some quite funny videos about that, but it still doesn't explain gender fluid or transgender.

It comes down to the DNA and fact that birth is all the same gender as everyone was once a female or neutral with female characteristics. The Y chromosome is only added later on for so-called males. Yet it's changes in size and is actually dying out.

I'm a 100% male, yet could understand why a rare few could consider themselves not the right gender. Specially when factoring in the environment. Animals do the very same thing and it actually helps their environment. While I might not fully understand it, I can at least accept it.

Wait… so would it be ethical to make your pet dog a transgender?

Not sure. But regardless I’m gonna make a human-alien hybrid. The cunning of a human and the intelligence of an alien.

Maybe it's 2 people in 1 ?
They/them is grammatically problematic. He/she him/her are singlular pronouns whereas they/them is plural. This gets very confusing in normal conversation.

Merriam-Webster's definition of "they": http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/they

Can They, Their, Them, and Themselves be used as singular pronouns?
They, their, them, themselves: English lacks a common-gender third person singular pronoun that can be used to refer to indefinite pronouns (such as everyone, anyone, someone). Writers and speakers have supplied this lack by using the plural pronouns.

So the issue we need to resolve is the English language not having a common third gender singular pronoun. All someone has to do is come up with this new pronoun to remedy the grammatical issues of relying on they/them for third gender class.

Split personalities? Multiple personality disorder? A Liberal trying to B.S. you?

Let me ask you all a question ... what do you do when you hear someone talking about themselves to others in the third person?

All these pronoun users are trying to do is normalize something that a mere 3 or 4 years ago wasn't normal. There is always someone trying to come up with something to get something over on someone else. Pronouns are one of them.
