'they' predates woke stuff and afaik started to be used around the early 90s. I think it's a suboptimal word choice (as 'they' already has a specific meaning) but a word to refer to a non-specific s*x is fine imo

This is my pet peeve, "singular" they/them is fricking ancient, everyone has always used it and anyone who doesn't realize it is a literal NPC

Today I went shopping and the cashier punched me in the face

Wow why would THEY do that?

My next-door neighbor brought me a casserole

That was nice of THEM to do

I like Stallman's idea.

Use the elegant gender-neutral pronouns "person", "per" and "pers". They fit into English smoothly. They are easy to remember, since they come from "person", and the last two resemble "her" and "hers". They are natural to use, since they work just like "she", "her" and "hers". "Pers" ends in a voiced consonant, just like "hers".

Plus it'll make trains angry

And it will enrage rightoids because they will think "per" and "pers" is some kind of neurodivergent furry shit :marseyscoot:

My foid says they at work and her boomer coworkers are amazed at how ‘tolerant' she is, but it's really just to avoid making the genderspecials seethe without learning their actual pronouns so they'll do their jobs.

I can use it online but god in real life its so jarring to use that on someone you know esp someone that is not ambiguous in any way lol

I always see boomers/gen-xers use 'his/her' or often just 'her' in prose. IMO 'they' sounds better than either option
