FreshParsnipThe singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing
「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」(he/him)Chinese language is gender neutral:
他 (tā) - he/she/it, singular
(Edit: “it” is actually “它”, but its the same pronunciation)
他们 (tā mén) - they, plural
So simple… there’s no fuss about pronouns lmfao
Imagine all the problems that would go away if the US just used a better language xD
Better than some languages like German, where even inanimate objects have gender. That would be nicer though.
It’s cute when someone with a first language like that carries it over to English. “The coffee maker… he is broken 😞” I’m so sad for him!
Never thought of that, but personalizing objects is kind of cute, I agree.
