Usage of 'they' has proliferated to the extent that most people seem to grasp its usage.

OK?

Most people have always grasped its usage because it has always been used. That's usually something that has to be explained to bigots.

But that isn't the same thing as respecting the usage of personal preferences for gendered pronouns and titles. Which is also something that has to be explained to bigots. And that is what this thread is about.

OK?

I dunno. The proposition to nullify peoples preferences seems counterproductive. Frankly, it feels similar to the authoritarian approach taken in the article.
