Was watching a news report about a trans person and the reporter was trying her best to use “they”, but got visibly confused when someone said “Their family found out that they were going to die”
Just a little example of how “they” is not always a replacement
Anyone saying that “they” isn’t grammatically proper needs to answer for why they don’t use “thou” and instead use the plural “you.”
I strongly advocate for the revival of thou! Thou shalt yield.
