Yes. I'm a they. I'm not a man, thus 'he' doesn't apply to me, and I'm not a woman, thus, 'she' doesn't apply to me. I'm an androgyne. 'They' is the appropriate pronoun.

If you have a dick, and have (I think) two X chromosomes, you are a man. Opposite for women.

But, fine. Just expect odd looks when you insist on "they".

EDIT: Big Jim P made a good point. "They" is plural.

3. they have said it before, i do remember seeing it. my point is you shouldnt always be the heavy. we, the users, can suggest, but ultimately enforcement is up to moderation.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
