Anyone is singular. You used they as a singular pronoun. You used a gender-neutral pronoun

"All these terms they've come up with" Are you really trying to say referring to someone as they is a Tumblr thing? You are not discussing. You are just weirdly spewing the same ignorance in every post.

I see calling somebody who disagrees with you "ignorant" or "bigot" is a thing now

People in Syria, North Korea, most of Africa, etc. don't have time to even think about these sorts of things. They're not as privileged as us Westerners .

I think humans naturally just want to complain and want to feel like their lives are difficult tbh. And if there's nothing bad going on in their lives they find they will find ANYTHING to complain about.

If someone calls you a "she" when you're actually a "he", then:

1) they're probably joking

and if they're not joking then:

2) correct them

and if they continue to purposefully call you the wrong thing then:

3) stop being friends with them

Problem solved.

This

I'm not gonna pussyfoot around and use gender-neutral pronouns just to satisfy a few Tumblrinas

Hahaha I see what you are trying to do.. but I didn't call him ignorant for disagreeing with me (and didn't call him a bigot at all ), I called him ignorant for saying using the word "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun is a new thing, and even linking it to Tumblr??¿ That is lie.. that is ignorance.

Nice try though.

What are you trying to do with that quote? I did not call him ignorant for disagreeing with me. I said he was spewing ignorance because he is claiming using they is a new, Tumblr-related thing. This is a lie (that can be proven with a few seconds of Googling), therefore ignorance. I don't understand how that's so difficult for you to comprehend

I use gender-specific pronouns.

Let me rephrase that for you because you seem to be going on and on trying to make a point.
If anyone is offended, THAT PERSON. It could be a HE, it could be a SHE. I'm using THEY because I'm not talking about ANYONE IN SPECIFIC. IT COULD BE A HE IT COULD BE A SHE. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

If a man approaches me, I'll refer to him as a HE. If a woman approaches me, I will refer to her as a SHE. If THEY are offended by that, THEY should chill the **** out and live their lives without worrying about a HE or a SHE.

Have I made myself clear? This is what I'm talking about. People going ON AND ON about STUPID things like a HE or a SHE. Like, don't you have anything better to do? A HE or a SHE could possibly offend you? If so, then your life is pretty much boring and you're looking for something to pass the time and obsess over.
