incorrect, “they” can be singular or plural. that’s not even a recent “woke mind virus” change to the language, it’s always been the case.

you literally did gender her immediately when you said “guy … his” the appropriate thing to do would be to respect the pronouns she put on her profile when they were pointed out to you.

Thus it’s not a singular. It can be used as one, but it doesn’t specify a singular, thus it isn’t one. I can use a shovel as an axe, but it doesn’t make it an axe, even though both are tools for splitting wood.

“You” isn’t singular.

I’ll demonstrate how sorely you are wrong in this matter. If you can translate the following sentence to English without it losing meaning or misgendering someone, I’ll change my comment; “hänen autonsa.” Take care to notice it is not synonymous with “heidän autonsa”.

Go ahead. I’ll wait.
