    As one who dislikes the singular they—I kinda like distinctions in regards to numbers in pronouns—I kinda like “thon.”

        I kinda wished English 2nd-person pronouns made distinctions for plurality. We know they exist with 1st-person pronouns, but alas, the so-called progressives are ruining plurality in 3rd-person pronouns.

        I suppose we could take it up a notch and replace all gender-specific 3rd person pronouns with the singular they.

          Cool. That has nothing to do with all the queerphobic shit you’re spreading all over this comment section.

            What “queerphobic shit.”

            I neither fear nor hate the transgender, and most of their detractors are conservative bigots and/or idiots.

                  No, because you say bigoted things like:

                  Rachel Dolezal isn’t black, but Caitlyn Jenner is a woman.

                  Don’t argue: if you argue you are a transphobe.

                  I’m not blind.

                    If a white man says he’s a woman, we should accept that thon is a woman.

                    If a white man says he’s black, he should be pilloried for mocking people of African descent.
