pussytooth: Using the pronoun "they" to refer to a single person is grammatically incorrect.
Please stop doing it. It’s not progressive or cool, it’s just plain incorrect.
wha wha wha I’m cisgendered, so I can go tell people that aren’t that the pronoun they prefer to go by is just an annoying trend that is not grammatically…
It actually is grammatically correct. You’re trying to argue from a point of supposed intellectual superiority, which is hilarious because you’re fucking wrong.
Please feel free to go fuck yourself to death.
