    Okay so funny story because this reminded me of it. We were attempting to explain gender and pronouns to a 7 year old in my family because they weren’t sure if another family member was a boy or a girl. So we explained they go by they / them pronouns. The child seemed to understand and was satisfied with this.

    On the way out the door, the 7 year old then kept shouting BYE THEY! SEE YOU SOON THEY! I’LL MISS YOU THEY! It was honestly pretty adorable, they were trying as hard as their little growing brain would let them. Apparently for days later the child was still saying stuff like “when will I see they again!” Just totally cute. The child is older now and doesn’t misgender “they” at all anymore.

    So basically this ee is more dumb and also more of an asshole than a 7 year old, but pretending that they’re an ultra intellectual. Hilarious
