theyre editing posts for perceived or pretend offense if it was a specific person then theres nothing to edit because you would just use the pronouns and there wouldnt be any issue. they dont talk about anyone who specifically wanted differ

when 99.99% people agree then we dont really need new rules like its pretty simple, use it if someone asks but otherwise just stick with the defaults that everyone understands

uh but using "they" as a neutral way to talk about anyone is just fine. people have been doing that for literally centuries, its called "singular they" this is all about people wanting to be outraged for no reason

its not, its overreported. its trendy to change gender so people do it until theyre done with the phase. why do you think theres so many reports about people switching back and regretting their decision or going against their parents who fo
