    They is grammatically correct for a single person so I’m not even kind of sure what you mean here

      I never said it was incorrect. The problem is forcing people to use ‘they’ when they’d rather use he or she.

        The poster above me here is absolutely right, she shouldn’t be forced to use the wrong pronouns. It might make her uncomfortable.

          Yeah, nah. I grew out of that phase in elementary school.

          You can call me whatever you want, I’m not some child who lets it affect me.

            If I had to call you something, it would be “embarrassingly thoughtless to others”.

              Cool. I’m secure enough to not let random lies on the internet affect me.

              You should try it sometime.
