Loading... Please wait...Using they/them pronouns is a bit like English deciding to keep everyone on their toes. You hear, "They left their phone," and for a split second you picture an entire group holding a committee meeting about a missing charger. Then you remember it's just one person, and the mystery is solved. The funniest part isn't the pronouns—it's watching your brain briefly assemble an invisible crowd before catching up. After a while, using they/them becomes as natural as saying "you," which also manages to be both singular and plural without anyone starting a panic.
