Explanation of they/them

I am uneducated on this subject and everyone I ask about it doesn't really get it either. Can anyone explain the rationale behind this please?

Is it only used by trans folk or by everyone? And if it's only trans why would they not prefer he/she to the gender they identify as ?

Or it's used by anyone, why would you care what you're referred to as ?

I just don't understand it 😕

No bigoted replies please, I'm trying to gather info , not spread hate ✌

It’s just another way of creating even more division in society. Not satisfied with a battle between two genders they figured they could encourage some people to become Trans.

And this we have the usual language war where terms are invented or applied differently.

And if you can’t keep up it’s off to the gulag you you!

TL:DR - Exploiting useful idiots to win political goals via the divide and conquer method.

here are some words *I* am changing now, and you damn well better respect me and use these when talking with me.

Car now equals TOAD.
House is now known as BENCH.
Fear is now known as HAT
Me is now the word PILLOW

I'll have more in coming weeks. Learn them or you are a hater.

I needed to buy new tires for my toad today. For some reason, the Firestone guy had trouble understanding what I was talking about.
