      I think you expecting no one to use a non-gendered pronoun with you is a privilege you are not going to be afforded.

      This is very simple:

      Me: You/They
      You: You/They
      Elliot Page: You/They
      Donald Trump: You/They
      Lavene Cox: You/They

      All 8 billion plus homo sapiens on this planet: You/They

      Regardless of their gender.

      You are not special. I get that you want to be special, but you aren’t.

          Feel free to point out an occasion when I have not used this standard in the past. My comment history is there for all to see. Unless I know someone’s gender, I try to use ‘they.’

          Maybe don’t assume you know someone’s motivations or that they are trying to attack you next time.
