"And so, I recently came out about my gender identity too, asking people to begin referring to me with the pronouns they, them and their instead of he, him and his. My friends have understood and, despite their (unfounded) concerns about the grammatical status of using “they” in its singular form, they seem to get why I ask them to respect such a request."

That's ****ing disturbing, isn't it?
Hell. In. A. Handcart.
