Words Make the Man
- zimpenfish 7y ago> Similarly, people who refer to a single person as “they,” or cannot bring themselves to accurately describe another person by sexual characteristics also broadcast important things about the durability of their connection to reality. First half of the sentence is idiotic because singular "they" has hundreds of years of historical use behind it and I don't think you'll find a professional grammarian or linguist who would object to its use. Second half of the sentence is thinly veiled transphobia. The rest is just the same old conservative "why can't words by words!!" bleating.
