>I hate this they/them shit too

He, my nigga
>because all the identity politics and trannyhole
I don't care about that, I just want "he" and "it" back, because singular 'they' sounds retarded in speech. Just look at some of this shit.
>>21243582
Yes, it does. "He" works perfectly fine as a gender-neutral. Many other languages follow the same idea, like Spanish and Russian, and nobody has a problem.

I literally don't care about your appeal to authority. Do you not see how retarded this reads? 'They' is plural.

>>21221503
No, it only appeared only like 6 years ago. Don't lie to me. Everyone prior to that was either using "he" as gender neutral, or simply using both at once

>I will refer to an antagonistic character as "bad guy", even though we know antagonists can also be female.
>Cause, you know. "Bad guys" is a common phrase.
Okay, fair...
>And yet, I WILL butcher every other sentence with my retarded singular 'they', instead of the correct gender-neutral masculine
What drives you retards to come to these decisions when writing?
What are these half-measures? If you wanna be a feminist retard on a mission to destroy gendered language, then ditch ALL gendered terms and start writing shit like "Tommy DeSimone was to become a made person" and rename boyscouts to kidscouts.
But if you don't, then SPEAK ENGLISH CORRECTLY.
There's no such thing as singular 'they'.
>but m-mh Shakespeare...
Shut up.
