Proposal: when using "they" as a singular #pronoun the singular form of the verb should also be used. For example: "Let's invite Max. They always makes a party fun!" #grammar
People have been able to change their names for ages.
We call people by nicknames, whether they are shortened versions of their names or completely different words, all the time.
If you don't have a problem with those things, but suddenly have an issue when someone who is #trans asks to be addressed by a different name or #pronoun, then obviously the problem isn't that they changed their name. The problem is that you're a bigot. The end. #transgender#lgbtqia#lgbtq#TransIsBeautiful
#Pronoun matching. I was looking at an instance, and its list of suspended servers. The reason for one of the suspensions was given as "the admin literally calls themselves a Nazi". Fine reason. But the pronoun?
#Epicene they/them/their/theirs, no problem. But that reflexive pronoun? Number concord says that the singular "admin" should get "themself" and not "themselves" as the reflexive. Am I off in this? Do most people use the whole set in plural, without making the partial adjustment?
