Irene ElmerotLinguists of the Fediverse: the usage of "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun, is it used with a singular or plural verb?

singular verb form (they has)
plural verb form (they have)
Depends, see my comment as a reply.

Interesting for #gender studies: When asking @Kagi to translate a Swedish sentence to Ukraininan, it gives both masculine and feminine form of the verb. This is absolutely correct, I did not give any gendered info. BUT: When translating the same sentence from English, it only gives the masculine form …

Deborah MakariosWhen did "ladies" become a more offensive way to refer to women than "females"?
"Females" don't even have to be human, making the word a popular choice with the aggressively misogynistic.
Guidelines for Olympic commentators say they shouldn't say "ladies" but should say "females" ("women" is also acceptable).
The argument seems to be that equality requires women & men to be referred to in the same ways - and the unspoken assumption is that how women are referred to should be fitted to the pattern of how men are referred to, not vice versa.

trissc̈henperson on a french-learning question forum: "How is the house feminine?"
Well easy: The patriarchy doesn’t want women to leave it.
Seriously, it’s interesting how I can remember the grammatical gender of most words correctly by either "same as in german" or some "what would patriarchy do" thought …
Prof. Julia LeydaOK what is the deal with using "females" instead of "women" or even "people?" As a writer I have always thought "female" as a noun applies to animals but not human beings, because we have words for that: girl or woman.
Wow that link is a monster--will edit this post if it doesn't work.
Is "females" now the preferred unbiased term? (Genuinely baffled, not being snarky).
K.B. SilverIntuition dabbles in poetry as commentary on literature. I read Watership Down as a child, and I am sure many of you have read it at some point in your life, or maybe my take on the classic will pique your interest.
