Yes, we are hippies. Where do you think you are?
Yay, another edgy shitposter who thinks he's on Jow Forums...
>Always say "she". This rejects the traditional sexism by reversing it. The book Ancillary Justice did this, and was acclaimed, but this practice is just as inaccurate as always saying "he".

Nothing wrong with using "they" when referring to an unknown person. Once the person is known, however, it's a matter of he or she.
Disgusting.
Did your brain stopped functioning right after the title? He will not call you "they" "xhe" or whatever out of autism.
what the fuck are you talking about
>The proponents of "they" argue that it is the correct choice because people have long used it occasionally in the singular. While it is true that people did so, that shows only that they faced a similar choice between bad options. Some chose "they" as the least bad, but that doesn't make it a good solution.
It doesn't matter if it's bad. Languages evolve naturally, and a lot of people use "they" as a neutral pronoun. If anyone wants to force a gender neutral alternative, they are wasting their time. :^)
>As for "they", if you are plural by nature — for instance, if you are a colonial organism or a group mind, or if you wish to be known for having multiple personalities — I will use that plural pronoun to refer to you.
Humans are made up of trillions of cells so we ARE plural by nature
