Putting aside that I disagree with your thesis, what is the linguistically appropriate pronoun for a person who is neither male or female then?

There’s always a second ass to defend the first. They are not correct. This is a discredited type of elitist and bigotry-enabling pseudo-linguistics. Notice how everyone with even moderate linguistic knowledge is savaging your shitty friend here?

I think a lot of people don’t exactly realize how hard it is to “call your shot” like that. Police officers may have firearm training, but very few of them are sharpshooters, and the few that are I can promise you aren’t campus police.

What. It’s not your choice to regulate what pronouns other people prefer.

Not Enough Day Drinking is a sniveling bigoted coward that dismisses anyone that calls out their disgraceful and selfish bigotry and their dishonorable misuse of linguistics to back it up.

There is no excuse for using lethal force when confronted with a non-lethal threat. Period. I don’t care if the person in question was suicidal and had a small knife. There was no lethal threat, or even much of a credible threat, to the police officers. They had numerous options available. “I was scared so I killed…

In the English language “they” is both singular and plural and has been used as the “singular they” for around 700 years.

“even shoot him in the leg.”

You literally already do it all the time without realizing it.

“I had a substitute teacher today.”

“Oh yeah? What was their name?”

St Louis has a similar protocol, where they can shoot you, plant a weapon on your body, and have a judge claim “It would be strange for the victim to have not been carrying a gun.”

Shakespeare spelled his name about thirty different ways and threw sounds and concepts together to invent a few thousand words, but some drunk online asshole is pretty sure that Shakespeare would totally have his back on this anti-gay thing.

Look at the fucking idiot who thinks language has “rules”. Prescriptivism in the name of bigotry, way to be wrong twice simultaneously.

First, what is your issue with someone’s preferred pronoun? Why does it matter to you?

Because he plays football

He’s currently undergoing a Schrödinger’s CATscan.

Bullshit. White flight way predates civil rights protests. You just need an excuse for your racism.

So much coded racism on display in your post. Well done.

I don’t live in St. Louis. That question wasn’t apparently for you.

I thought the correct terminology was “purrito.”

...urban heroin dealer not in possession of a firearm would be an anomaly.
