I'll put it in the comments too

If you couldn't read it:
Here's a random tip for talking to non-native English speakers. This one is for pronouns. If you go by pronouns such as they, it, xe, etc., this is for you. Usually when people from other countries learn English, they only know male and female pronouns. Because of this, if you refer to a single person as "they", that foreign person may think you are talking about multiple people. To help prevent as much confusion as possible, especially when translating, if you or a friend go by they/them or something similar, use whichever gender you would more closely identify with, and if you don't closely identify with one, then you can just use your birth gender.

Ok

I know where you are coming from, but I will not be doing that 💜

May I ask why?
It can be incredibly confusing for people from other countries to just suddenly hear a single person referred to as "they", which usually means several people. Some languages don't even have a way of saying "they", so it can be even more confusing for them

Because I genuinely despise being called my birth gender, and the other one feels gross too. I'm not going to give up on my identity that I've worked very hard to discover and accept.
I know that learning another language can be very difficult, as I'm trying to learn a second language right now and it sucks.
But they can learn how to use an unfamiliar word. Like, if I can figure out the 3+ words for "the", they can figure out "they/them" pronouns.

I'm not abandoning my identity for someone else's comfort.

Sorry if that was worded a bit rude, I didn't mean to come off that way

But maybe at least explain to them what using they/them pronouns means, so it might be less confusing for them

Cool
