The caption that says “explains how they gashed their head” has got to be the best part, lol, because it shows just how completely unworkable and ludicrous this shit is, in real life…
The word 'they' does function grammatically if you're talking about someone whose gender you don't know (or, obviously, when multiple people are involved), and I suppose this is what their intention is when using 'they, them' pronouns. The main problem with that, of course, is one look at the person will tell you whether it's really a 'he' or a 'she'.
Just because 'they' are confused about 'their' gender, doesn't mean the rest of us can be forced to accept the delusion.
Generally if someone wants to try to police my speech for me, they get told to go get fucked.
Yeah, but it doesn’t work when it is clearly coming from the words of this chick herself…
Like, you can’t ask someone to refer to you like some… Genderless blob, when you aren’t. You just can’t, lol…
So as a photo caption, whether the “genderless” idea was Lovato’s, or, in this case, the article “writer”, it just… Sounds so very, very wrong, I suppose, lol.
You can certainly ask people to refer to you how you’d like to be addressed. The problem is it’s no longer a choice. ‘Use my pronouns or else.’
It’s this crap that propelled Jordan Peterson into the limelight. All he said was ‘you can ask me to use your pronouns, but I won’t be coerced into doing so.’
As for Lovato, I reckon it’s as simple as she was fading into obscurity, getting a bit chubby and she went ‘nonbinary’ or ‘asexual’ or whatever the fuck in an attempt to grab a headline.
It really does, and always has. It’s just been coerced by leftist lunatics who believe it makes them interesting.
If someone’s talking about their friend Alex, whose gender you don’t yet know, obviously you can ask if Alex is a dude or a chick but until then you wouldn’t say ‘he’ or ‘she’. Grammatically in that type of situation, ‘they’ is acceptable.
And just before the downvoting begins, try re-reading my previous comment; specifically the first line of the second paragraph.
That’s a grammatically acceptable use of the word ‘their’ as a non gender-specific term.
This language has been around for longer than trannies have, just as rainbows hung in the sky before faggots walked the earth and slavery existed prior to the foundation of the USA.
We need to stop ceding ground to these fucking sociopaths.

It’s jarring (to me, anyway), to say the least!

No, it doesn't. Use "he or she."
