      2/x As MW says, that "they" has never meant the singular form is ahistorical: "English famously lacks a gender-neutral singular pronoun to correspond neatly w singular pronouns like everyone or someone, and as a consequence they has been used for this purpose for over 600 years.

      3/x Language means what its users determine it means. Clearly, they/them has taken on potent contemporary uses, which is great. Those wanting to not acknowledge what these words now convey are just salty about giving up the power to dictate the language.

      4/x A philosophical question I have mulled since I took Julie Livingston's A History of the Body class: Why am I "I" singular anyway, when my body is amassed with millions of bacteria without which "I" would die almost immediately? Must "I" consider my living ecosystem singular?

      5/x Then, there's @TheLivingMJ's philosophical riff on @PhizLair and Douglas Hofstadter: "I 'I' is just an illusion, then what a strange loop!" So, they/them. Less American individualism. More conceptual community identity. Acknowledge connection . Less binary. Yay.
