      I use they/them pronouns. Not using my pronouns is disrespectful to me. This document is a complete sham because it includes Stallman's footnote that he doesn't believe non-binary people have the right to use they/them pronouns because "you can't distinguish singular from plural"

      I can only imagine the amount of work it took to get Stallman to sign off on this communication document. The footnote shows that Stallman gets to define what is disrespectful, regardless of this document. That any of the document could be revoked later if he feels like it.

          As a writer and editor, I really fail to see the furor over singular they/them/their. It's been standard grammatical practice in English for a very long time, at least the last century, to use these in the singular form if the gender of the pronoun subject is unknown.

          The fact that people don't remember learning that, or were perhaps never correctly taught that (if an instructor preferred a s/he or similar approach) is not an excuse to ignore standard conventions or treat them as somehow new/strange/different.

          I have never once had to call out an author (or had my own writing called out) for pronoun confusion over singular they/them/their. I frequently have to correct pronoun confusion in writing featuring multiple subjects with the same pronouns. (side note: use proper names!)
