I reiterate my contention that they/them would be nice as surface level, basic interaction pronouns.

Eg: am I a nonbinary genderqueer artist, or a aging male blue-collar with no interest in transitioning? Right now I'm drinking coffee and prepping for an interview, and neither of those things is especially gendered, why do they need very gendered pronouns?

@Leucrotta gawd yes. I would be so much more relaxed about genderstuff if our language had a default "if you aren't sure use this neutral one" pronoun.
