Why “they/it” instead of also “they/them”?
I was under the impression that “they/them” were the already established pronouns when gender is irrelevant.
I was just using that as an example, since I already listed they/them as the second pronoun set
I get that, I’m just trying to understand the difference between /them and /it in that example. I feel like “them” is more generic than “it”, so I feel like “them” would be a better fit in a space where it’s nobody’s business, the same as in a professional setting.
Am I mistaken or missing something?
That’s interesting. I hadn’t really thought of them in terms of comfort level needed to use them with others, and after considering it I think you’re probably right.
