    "Should we tell they/them?"

    Not how pronouns work. They is only used to indicate a grammatical subject.

        "they/them" is literally ungrammatical in the sentence "Should we tell they/them?"

        The slash (/) is generally used to show that either word could be used. "They" doesn't work in the sentence "should we tell they", so shouldn't be listed as an option.

        But now that I reread your comment I think you're agreeing with the parent post and saying that the person that xitted the ungrammatical xit was doing the virtue signaling. [Insert SNL Church Lady saying "never mind" here]
