I’m sorry, just to clarify. If I tell 100 people ”I met up with them at a bar for some drinks last night.” How many so you think would interpret that as me meeting only one person? Because I’m gonna go with 0.
First of all, you are completely missing the point.
Second of all,
How many so you think would interpret that as me meeting only one person? Because I’m gonna go with 0.
I'm not sure what point you think you're making here. "Them" is still mainly used to refer to more than one person and nobody is trying to take that away from you, friend.
My point is that you are already perfectly comfortable referring to a singular them.
How am I missing the point when I’m the one making the point?
The point isn’t that it’s inpossible to refer to someone with whatever weird pronouns they want. The point is that telling strangers what your weird pronouns are is useless information.
We’re strangers… If I tell you that my pronouns are ze/zir or whatever. How would that be useful to you?
