Took long enough. No one should be in prison for simple possession of weed. It turns non-violent criminals into something worse than that. I'm sure it's traumatizing for those incarcerated for something that didn't hurt anyone. Why put people in prison for weed but sentence people way less time,

Seems like it would be much simpler to just refer to everyone the same way. If you’re talking about someone who isn’t around you can just say “that idiot” when referring to him/her/it/he/she and “those idiots” instead of they/them. Much cleaner that way. From: AF On Behalf Of Forrest

I heard an admittedly right wing commenter describe it this way.. You rarely use a gendered pronoun when talking to someone.You use their name or "you".You only use the gendered pronouns when they aren't around. So people asking you to use their preferred pronoun are asking you to change

Just a way to classify the woke vs the unwoke. Forcing a weird and unnatural change in language. They/them/theirs are all plural. Third person plural. Adds confusion. Some languages do not genderize pronouns. Everyone is it or its. But here you would offend someone by calling them it.
