Presi300, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) That just will not work, because some languages have different rules about gendered words, to those of English. E.g. English: One man One woman One non-binary person (they) Bulgarian: Един мъж Една жена Един не определен човек (те) Notice how in the “non-binary/they” form in Bulgarian you still have to use the male version of “One”, it’s just how the language works… Many languages will have to be entirely re-written to account for the new pronoun. I think until that happens, “they” gets the job done.
