doing a friendly chat with hillary clinton, a war criminal who is directly responsible for countless deaths abroad and at home, while making a career as an edgy radical left video essayist is incredibly hilarious pic.twitter.com/a9Y2nh4ePe— ☀️👀 (@zei_squirrel) September 19, 2022
Others have already given real explanations but in a lighter tone, see Alice from :wtyp: 's Twitter, she lists her pronouns as "she/her, or they/them if you're mad at me"
no my pronouns are she/her. being called they/them feels dehumanizing - if you know my pronouns, don’t use the wrong ones intentionally.
it's something I actually tried for a while as a compromise in early transition and it quite literally made me feel like an alien. it doesn't quite deaden me inside the way he/him does but I'm not any more comfortable with it.
they/them is routinely used to intentionally misgender binary trans people while protecting plausible deniability. don't be a lib about this.
there's cases were that's appropriate (referring to a group, referring to people where pronouns are unclear, referring to people who actually use they/them pronouns), there's also cases were it is used intentionally by people who do not want to recognize trans women as women. i don't know how much more often i'll have to explain this here, just keep it going, it's really fun and not tiresome at all to have to defend and explain myself all day long in a supposedly trans-inclusive space just because i made one angry off-hand remark about some shithead on twitter.
huhhh, isnt they/them supposed to work as a gender neutral pronoun?? Ive used it all the time when I did not know

When I was early in transition, everyone else was "he" and "she", but I was "they" to anyone who didn't want to acknowledge me as a woman.
It's totally a thing for cis people to us a "neutral" they only for trans people regardless of their gender.

yeah honestly it seems like people are mad over nothing on this one

you’re very much understood and very much supported here.
Usually people will identify themselves as she/them or he/them if they are cool with both.
