The thing that triggers me the most about the they/them tranny pronouns bullshite is they is a plural pronoun that person is using as a singular pronoun. It's a bastardization of the English language.
In fairness, English is a bastard of a language. It's a wonderful, glorious language in all its nuance, but how it's managed to go this long without having a clearly demarcated gender neutral singular pronoun is absolutely fricking beyond me
Also, they isn't inherently plural:
"My one and only friend just came back from the store."
"Yeah, which store did they go to?"
Unless you're one of those crazy people who wants to he/she in spoken language.

Duh. It’s a male who identifies as a female (penis removal & fauxgina optional for now) that is attracted to females, or in case of Chasity/Chaz it’s the transgender formerly known as lesbian.
Also a cross dressing transfemale lesbian is a male who identifies as female, is attracted to females, and dresses like a male.
What the fricking frick?

means two or more people, right
yes. Maybe it's becausethe retards are confused and don't know how to look between their legs to figure it out. Sometimes think they're a he, sometimes a she, so they refer to themselves as they referring to their he and she selves like two different people even though it's one body/one person. Like when you see a man and a woman together, you would refer to them as they when talking about them. For these loons, maybe it's like a third person perspective and the word they is used to disassociate and talk about themselves? Then again, now we're talking about disassociating from one's self and maybe they want to do that because who would want to associate with themselves if they were fricked up like that?
Now I am lost again because I used too many theys and thems, talking about people using theys and thems incorrectly.
We don't understand, because it is not meant to be understood....because it is not meant to be. It's like asking why is a red pen blue and the answer is that it isn't.

It high time we quit enabling the bizarre and delusional requests of the mentally ill and sexually deranged, and get them the help that they desperately need. Those that refuse help should be mercilessly mocked, ridiculed and ostracized.

Yeah, but at least I’m one guy. The only plural people are Siamese twins.
Maybe someone that consumed their twin in utero.

If used correctly it denotes two or more people.
If used otherwise it denotes a fricking twisted, delusional idiot.

Every time I read an article referring to an individual as "they" my skin crawls, I physically wretch, and I weep for the English language.

I am simply unable to refer to a single person as they.
"When a new candidate is selected, we must ensure that they sign up for the orientation course immediately."
They has always been the way to address a single person of unknown gender. I mean, I think the way it is being used now is silly, but it is definitely used in normal conversation, too.

I thought that was
“Yeah, which store did he or she go to?”
If that’s what you meant by crazy people using he/she in spoken language than I just call that not making assumptions -
“my spouse just came back from store.”(or in Utah “my one and only spouse just came back from store.”)
“Yeah, which store did he or she go to?”
In your example using he or she also acknowledges if not emphasizes the person only has one friend and needs help.

It’s been a long time since I took Spanish, but what is the 3rd person gender neutral singular pronoun in Spanish (that doesn’t translate to “it” usually in English)?
Also, If you respond to me in Spanish, please use the formal usted.

No clue, but it’s il/elle/on in French.

Who knows? Who cares? If you wanna be called a banana then I’ll refer to you as a banana. It doesn’t mean I believe you are a banana or that I will endorse you to the world as a banana - - but if in speaking to you, if it makes you feel better and respected, then fine - - I don’t give a flying shite. You are banana.
I just don’t get why everyone gets their panties in a wad over this.

If your screen name checks out, I find it surprising you don't understand why it's a big deal.
People who demand they are legally not their biological sex create major chaos when they are actually allowed to insert theyselves into female sports or the vaginas of real female prisoners for example.
Society cannot allow a bunch of leftist twats who exist only in their feels redefine important words that affect what normal people have to say and do.

Bottom line, it’s someone who’s so mentally fricked up that the individual in question doesn’t know what bathroom to use.

People use they a lot as a singular. Mostly in the form cursing.
Ex. “Who the **** do they think they are?”
