S/he is beautiful🥰🥰
Shakespear rolling in his grave because even he used singular they...
I don't get it , I'm French btw
Instead of "s/he is" you can say "they are", even though it's singular. "They" is the preferred pronoun for any situation where gender is unclear or (usually, but not always) for non binary people.
Oh sorry I brutaly translated this from French where we say" iel " (contraction of "Elle" and "il" our feminine and masculine pronoun). I already saw they but I didn't thought about it.
It's all good! The fact that you want to be inclusive is great. They have a contraction for nonbinary pronouns in french? that's awesome.
Well, it's a neopronoun, so while it's popular enough for most people to understand what it means, in my experience "iel" sadly gets a lot of pushback ("oh but we don't do that in French" etc.) which means it's rarely used in contexts other than to refer to non-binary people who have expressed a preference for "iel".
Yeah that sounds familiar
Plot twist: They're a they/them user and you just misgendered them either way.

Hey
Howdy
Illi (
illi)Could you explain why you commented this in this specific comment chain?
Maybe they thought we were being "woke" or "sensitive" about pronouns?
Undoubtedly, but they could've said so instead of posting some completely unrelated video as a half-baked statement.
Yeah, agreed.
Yep was just a dumb joke like his.
Well it wasn't funny, it came off as off topic at best and borderline queerphobic at worst, and queerphobia doesn't fly here or on blahaj.zone at all really. My joke may have been bad or dumb to some people but it almost certainly didn't come off as queerphobic.
Wasn't my intention at all. My bad.
That's good, I'm glad to hear that.
