> Those who failed to pivot pronouns were frequently labelled as transphobic, but the reality is tons of folks already struggle massively with grammar in general. Insisting that a traditionally plural term represents just a single person broke their brains. Since people dislike both grammar and self-examination, they just turned away.

The bit reminds of an unhinged (in a bad way) British comedian going off the French sentence, "Je m'appelle John." having the literal translation, "I am called John", referring to yourself in the 3rd person.

As interesting as grammar and how we talk about ourselves is, most non-normative pronouns at this point are they/them. Not hard. I can't even remember peoples' names, how the hell am I going to remember their pronouns?

I just call everyone they.
