Me and I are singular, they is not; but I am aware of "progressives" attempts to change the definition (just like with the word racism).

Even if I ignore completely that, she's contradicting herself. She's not even following her own request. She said her pronouns are they: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/demi-lovato-non-binary-pronouns-podcast-announcement/. She mislabeled and/or misgendered herself.

Even these crazy gender swapping attention seekers arnt claiming they are "plural" people
Its just that "They" seesm to have two very different uses in the English language,
"Did you get into the Army?" - No they said I had flat feet (plural people)
"Will your new boss give you a raise?" - No they are not allowed (singular person of undetermined gender)
there should be a better pronoun for (singular person of undetermined gender) because They was already used for "many people"

" No they are not allowed " - i don't know, i still it's collective, like "they - the people in management" ...
And you NEVER say they is like it would be for singular ...

Posts the definition just to make it clear they are completely dense
Says they are gonna ignore that, but then focuses on it again and nothing else
Stop wasting people's time, you degenerate.

You think they is singular and people can say they are something they aren't because they "feel" like it, you don't get to call other people retarded or degenerate.
