@tuxcrafting @LukeAlmighty >it's been used since middle english

i have read everything from Beowulf to Russel and never have I encountered such a thing as the singular they. you've probably been lied to about this.

>derived from common indo-european inanimate neutral
If you are going to make an argument using etymology, then the neutral pronouns in english are spelled him/his, not to be confused with the male pronouns which are also spelled him/his. In english, after all, there is no problem with two different words having the same spelling. It is the same in Latin.

just use 'it' as default for people that don't like he/she and if they complain then tell them they're performing speciesism

Just so I can once a decade defend people many laugh at, I do actually support non-binary people. Just let me use the words, that are specially created to solve the problem you face.

honestly if they cuck any harder i'm concerned they might chip a tooth...

Heres a little secret nobody dear to say it out loud
