It’s like the Life of Brian has become a manual for this decade. Every decade sees young adults seek change, nothing new there, (I was CND in the eighties) however social media has turbo charged it now and given what would have been “right on” students pissed in the pub with an organised voice. Scary. Looking back now I was nowhere near the rounded intelligent ‘adult’ I truly THOUGHT I was in 1988.
I fully expect in 20 years time that tattoo removal and ‘gender change reversals’ will be growth industries, along with kids suing parents/doctors/tattooists for not ‘warning’ them properly.

There are only 10 types of people in the world.
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Whatever his gender identity, there is only one of him/her, so the correct terminology cannot be "they" or "them". Cos "they" means more than one. And there isn't. If you see what I mean.

I don’t really understand why people care about such trivial shite these days? Surely he can call himself what he wants

In the news the other day a woman married a tree. Each to their own.
Don't call him Shirley.

That is a self defeating argument. It can be applied equally to both proponents and detractors.

He can indeed. But now he's busily telling everyone else how we should all refer to him from now on.
"Sam Smith is on tour. They'll be at the Brighton Centre in June, in case you want to know when to avoid them".

If he's got a c*ck, b*llocks or a male body with testosterone (if he's had them chopped off), 'HE' is a bloke no matter how much he denies it. If he thinks he's something else, then that's his problem in his own head. Why spread it all over the media - other than , "ooh look at meeeeee...."
I read recently that in some places (uni campuses etc) pronoun introductions are becoming a thing. As in my name's Dave, my pronouns are x, y and z. A popular trans youtuber said she didn't think it was a good idea and got slammed for it, being accused of having 'passing privilege' (being able to pass as a woman.)
In the end, if someone wants to be referred to as they, who cares? We use they as a gender neutral 3rd person pronoun all the time anyway. Much more complicated in languages with grammatical gender.

I don't think they can be gay, by definition...

nothing practical about identifying as non-binary or any other of the myriad of new genders.

I don’t understand why anyone would care enough to worry about what someone else calls themselves I just find it all very strange
No, but 'they' can be a nauseating ****.

Non-binary people have always been around, as a very small section of the population.
The fact that some people don't know, or don't want to know, what it means, or don't like the idea, doesn't make it any less of a reality. Nor does the fact that a few people will use it as a means of attention seeking make it less real.
Ignoring or denying it just means a small percentage of the population end up having unnecessarily sh*t lives. Why not change that if we can? And we can.
Why is this so scary to us oldies? Young people seem perfectly able to understand and accept it. But many seem to be desperately keen to get outraged about something that will have almost zero impact on us, whilst also openly admitting we don't understand it. Odd.

Because it makes a complete mess of any grammatical reference to 'them'. It pluralises him into them. And basically, its bloody ridiculous. I don't see why everyone else in the world should now be obliged to play along with his daft games just because he woke up one morning and thought "actually, I want to be a them and a they".
He's a vacuous, self-obsessed prick.

As long as they keep selling cheap beer at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, I don't mind what they call themselves.
