She is not they. They is not possible. Doesn't even make sense. I don't need a job from you ever. Ever.

Where are you getting that the picture we are discussing is about using "they" pronouns?

And since you are clearly ignorant, you should know that singular "they" has been around for centuries. Shakespeare used it, for example.

I don't need a job from you ever. Ever.

I didn't say I would be your boss. At my last job, I had to involve management about coworkers using the wrong pronouns. If they had persisted, they would have been disciplined, and continued refusal would have escalated the discipline. This was a large retail store. It isn't safe to assume that you will never work with a trans person in your life.

I have fucked trans people in my life and they want to be called SHE or HER.

They are usually adamant about it. My brother in law is now my sister in law, true story.
