They/them is grammatically correct for singular nouns, but maybe it’s best to just use neopronouns in the case of someone (like this lady who is opposed to using someone’s correct pronouns) being difficult. But I feel people who want to be difficult are going to be difficult for whatever reason, and it’s not about the pronouns or grammar at that point.

For reference https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

Edit why is my comment being read uncharitably by the downvoters? Its weird behavior, I don’t get why someone would do that lol

I think neopronouns would piss off those against the concept of non-binary or trans even more.

I like the idea of inventing new pronouns, but most of the suggestions so far (like "Xe") are too silly to be taken seriously. "They/them" can come off as impersonal at times, but we seem to be more or less settling on that, so whatever.

I’m in the too silly to be taken seriously boat. They/them works perfectly fine.
