Its so weird everyone is like "they/them?? Are you multiple people? 🤣🤣" and then they use they/them abt a singular person 3 sentences later
It's been used both ways for a long time, just depends on context. I get how it can look confusing for some though.
Exactly, its been normal and gramatically correct to use for a single person, and they have even used it that way, but they don't realize they even use it that way themselves its just lol. Ppl like that seem dumb, like not much going on in their head honestly
Honestly, yeah. LOL The people that claim it isn't grammatically correct are clueless and just want a reason to deny people over their personal beliefs.

I mean they literally put races/groups as "DNI" and then lose their marbles when it doesn't work bc that's like a huge portion of the site.
dnis dont really work as a concept anyways, because the bad people in those groups you dont wanna interact with arent gonna care about. Its always just more effective to not interct with those people you dont wanna interact with yourself in most cases...
I could honestly see it being counterintuitive to have dni lists, cus if someone is a horrible human white man homophobic racist ableist and whatnot, he would probably WANT to interact with someone who doesn't want to interact w ppl like him, to fuck w them. And bait for trolls looking for ways to mess with a person

yup, same as how listing all your mental illnesses makes it more likely people will take advantage of u by using that info

Right, I find the badge thing so weird. Like nobody needs to know all of my medical info.
I'll openly talk about having ADHD here, but like it's a very small community where I'm not getting bullied for it lol.

I don't know if its cus im not a native english speaker, but doesn't ppl use they/them for everyone, like for cis men and women also, if you are unsure abt someones gender if you know nothing abt them for example. I don't see anyone using they/them abt me as misgendering as long as its not like they go out of their way to only use those instead of she/her when they know me 
Yeah, naturally in your head when you see someone you might think "she/her or he/him" based on how someone presents, but they/them is a good way to avoid risking misgendering so it's even more commonly used for that purpose now. It can be plural or singular.
how about using their name
erases all confusion 

sorry who are they here im a bit confused

I think I used the mental health awareness, ace, aro and poly badges, but I don't understand the ppl that want badged for all their individual mental illnesses, write it in ur profile fine (tho I will call bullshit if u have like 5 personality disorders + schizophrenia and ur 14 but lol), but its a bit weird. Also could be dangerous for ppl with delusions etc

Yeah, I think whatever badge is fine as long as you are aware of how it can turn out bad, if ur ok w that then go ahead yeah, the problem is that most of the ppl w tons of badges are also 13-16 I would say, and NOT aware of how it can turn ugly, because they seem extremely trusting, like how u see ppl talking openly about their alleged delusions etc with no regard for how that will impact them. 

Tho I don't see the point in using 50 microlabel badges when nobody will understand what they mean anyway but lol, if it makes them happier

To ban the use of pronouns entierly would make things less confusing overall!

Is the use of the gender neutral pronoun they used to replace a specific noun phrase here, could sobbing use a noun phrase instead of the pronoun so devilcake can understand better
