Everyone is now THEY (Page 2)
You are on page out of 2 | Reverse Order
On average in the United States about 6 out of every 1000 people identify as "trans" or "gender neutral" (can vary by location, higher or lower).
Those are self reporting numbers, so take maybe one off that figure for people who aren't trans or neutral and are just people like your crazy uncle Larry who likes to wear women's underwear under his normal clothes, leaving you with maybe 5 out of a thousand people.
You can likely assume an equal gender split of about 2 bio men 2 bio female, leaving probably 1 person who identifies as neutral.
1 out of a thousand people. So maybe there are 3 total gender neutral people at an average Florida Marlins home game.
I think the likelihood of needing to use the pronoun "they" is slim. Much like running into any trans person in general unless you seek them out.
Exactly
This just isn’t a thing
It’s being sensationalized
Man, I swear race and gender identification is such a focal point in the US.
Identity politics is all the rage these days.

Meh.
It's both sides. This has been building since the Slick Willy administration.

You’re probably right about the numbers. This goes beyond that and actually the article isn’t about trans people at all.
The article is about using “they” to address EVERYONE as to not accidentally offend ANYONE.

if someone called me 'they' they would get a swift sharp kick to the gonads.
