To be fair, several people have tried to explain how "they/them" pronouns work and you're still fighting for your life in these comments, purposefully using poor grammar to make your point. Perhaps people are being snarky with you because you've repeatedly shown that you care more about supposed grammar ( note: singular "they/them" is grammatically correct, anyway) than you do about the dignity of trans people. Your posts sound like this, "I respect the trans people, BUT...." That "but" is very problematic. You are elevating your own misunderstanding of grammar above the identities of human beings. Trans people and queer people in general are at high risk of being victims of violence and murder. And you want to argue, incorrectly, that you can't figure out how to say, "Jerry wrapped their hands around the coffee mug?" Stop.

DU has trans members. DU has non-binary members. DU has members who use "they/them" pronouns. And they are sitting here, reading this of arguments over incorrect grammar, which are a pretty loud dog-whistle. They have heard these feigned concerns before and they knew exactly what it means. Just a helpful hint, the RW bigots use the attack of pronouns as a stepping stone down their path of anti-trans and anti-queer horrors. "Misunderstandings" and mocking of pronouns is one of their methods of stripping away the humanity and dignity from trans folks. Once you strip that humanity, it becomes easier to accept the other atrocities. So....tread carefully there because your arguments are not a good look.
