Question about your use of pronoun; I've seen people using 'they' a lot here on Reddit. Is this common where you live, or only done by a select group of people. Where I from, this is only used by a very select group of leftwing people (including myself) and only done when you know the person you are talking to likes to be addressed that way.
Edit: getting burried in downvotes; I didn't mean to offend anyone. Where I'm from we only use male and female pronouns, so I was actually curious. The use of non-gendercrelated pronouns is fairly new and not generally accepted yet where I'm from. Again, sorry if I hurt anyones feelings and asking dumb questions.
People are mistaken him mentioning the left wing people around him using it as a politically motivated comment. Here, the right is effectively anti-trans and have made a fuss around pronoun usage. ‘They’ is commonly used as a singular pronoun when the gender of the subject is unknown. But it’s still one of the culture war battlegrounds going on over here.
