This whole topic is so strange to me that I searched the internet for sample email signatures that include pronouns. I understand that some people born male identify as female and that some females identify as male. But what makes no sense to me is some individuals prefer (they/them/their) as their pronouns. What's up with that? Why would an individual person prefer plural pronouns? To me that is just bad grammar. What am I missing?
