"singular they" means using it as a hypothetical.
Example
>if somebody came through this door, they would trigger my expertly placed trap
You CAN'T use it for a specific real person.
If the sex of said person is ambiguous, you have these options:
1. assume male or female. Correct later if wrong.
2. put "he/she" with a slash, if it's a legal document
There is no "singular they".
Non-binary mentally ill need not apply.

And fucking obviously don't use it for inanimate objects and animals.
Whale is "it".
