Literally what I said

Demi doesn't care what Demi gets called, as long as Demi's name crosses your mind. Weekly. Daily. Hourly.

Coming soon in a doctor's office magazine near you, Demi. From Calvin Klein Obsession

This is exactly it. Been trying to put my finger on it for a long time - and it boils down to she's probably just a narcissist.

SO COMIC BUT NO LAFS

I do not understand the use of the terms "they/them" tbh. I grew up knowing those words to mean plural, multiple, more than one etc. So Im still confused when people use it in this context. Why would she use they and not he or she for example?

[ljtryout]

Cause at that moment they dont identify with the consstruction of what a “he” or “she” means.

Linguistics wise, i see how it can be confused as plural but it’s nowhere near other English language fuck ups. And language always adapts with the times.

[prosopopeya]

singular they as a concept has been around for a long time. here's some info:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/singular-nonbinary-they
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

as for not using he or she, those pronouns imply a connection with that gender presentation, and a nonbinary or genderqueer person may not feel a connection with he or she as a pronoun. "they" may better encapsulate their understanding of themselves.

[elderpricely]

Saying that he/she “implies a connection with that gender presentation” ignores the fact that there are many gender nonconforming people (who may not even be obviously male or female based on their presentation) who still use he/she. It's not inherently tied to presentation.
