See, y'all gotta learn not to BUMP old threads. Just go in and READ them without responding
 
So.
I just learned my oldest nephew's girlfriend, a girl he's been with since high school and with whom he lives, is telling everyone she wants to be referred to not as she/her but as they/them.

W.T.F???

I've not said anything about the whole pronoun thing, mostly just thinking it's a thing with people who are ... confused about some things. I don't say that to discount it, there are people who are confused about their sexuality, etc ... Just because I don't understand it doesn't mean I'm going to condemn it ... except, why the hell would someone who was born female, identifies as female, and is heterosexual want to be called something other than she or her??? Is it just for attention? Just to see if she can get people to go along with it?

While I do try to not be the militant grammarian I sometimes want to be, I think the part that bothers me the most is ...

It's a fucking plural pronoun!!!
She is one person ... singular, not fucking plural!!!

Think of it like the latest fashion that makes no sense whatsoever. Like slashed raggedy ass jeans.

I have no idea (yes, that could be said about me in many instances, but I'm utterly flummoxed by this).

Haha.
It sure seems entirely performative.
I really do hope it's just some game to see how many people she can get to go along with it ... you know, just kind of fuckin' with them.
