I'm lazy as fuck, so I really appreciate the normalization of They/Them. It's all I use on emails. He/Him? Nah, They/Them. She/Her? Nope, sorry. You get a They/Them. You prefer They/Them? Hmm...I think I can probably oblige. ;-)

There is this one odd case of my friend, who uses she/her and he/him, but decidedly not they/them.
How does that person wish for a group of people including himself to be referred to in the third person then?
I should have specified, singular they. When part of a group, of course he feels addressed as part of the group
I feel like nerds are not the people who use the wrong pronouns.. in my experience, it's jocks, rednecks, or more inclusively.. bigots.
Nerd culture and LGBTQ culture are very closely related. Probably thanks to furries.
holy shit
Andúril would be a great name for a trans guy
It can even flex into Andy if he's feeling casual
This sounds clever, and I agree with the sentiment, but this is actually a terrible argument. It inadvertently implies that only those with a very specific, near-obsessive interest in pronouns, similar to how obsessed with Tolkien you have to be to know the difference between Narsil and Anduril, should be expected to remember anyone's correct pronouns.
