Would it be an insult to refer to such a person as they and them?
It's a bit if a minefield.

I'd be stepping very carefully.
I have realised my error and apologise.
It is not transgender persons that use those pronouns.

Please read my question as referring to non-binary and gender fluid persons. It is all very complicated
I don’t try, Barry. Going down that route is the quickest way to meet yourself coming back.
Can we not just stick with the actual medical term and go back to calling gender fluid semen?
You’d need to get their opinion, wouldn’t you?

Awkward trying to attract a stranger's attention if they've dropped something or is about to step in front of a speeding car.
Oy you is rude.
One could develop excruciating cramp in the calf going about on tiptoe around these special creatures.
So, let me get this right….
We have an imaginary person who had dropped something or is about to walk out in front of an imaginary car and we’re debating what gender they would like to be addressed by?

It’s almost as if someone was trying to make some ‘phobic point via a completely made up fantasy scenario. Odd.
I admit that my brain is not working very well just now but I have no idea what you are all debating.

I also admit to being terribly confused about much that is happening with regard to our species.

The world is terribly confusing, or more correctly, the human race makes the whole thing far too complicated.

I'm going for a nap.
If this person was about to walk out in front of a bus, I doubt they’d mind you calling them ‘Oy’.

Zacs, I don't like to offend and do like to be prepared for all eventualities. I have decided to address everyone i don't know as 'person'.
With my luck somebody will identify ad a cat or a tree
It’s a car, apparently.
‘ I don't like to offend’

Mmmm. Your scenario would suggest otherwise. Or at least that you get some perverse amusement from postulating on someone’s gender via a very odd scenario.

I've just been reading about Lorraine Kelly constantly referring to Sam Smith as him, he throughout a piece to camera and the criticism she received.
I would find it difficult to use they and them when referring to one person. I find it hard enough when reading an article about one person and those pronouns are used. All my life those words have meant two or more people and it reminded me of the old joke about a schizophrenic.

Question Author
Zacs, as I understand it they choose not to have a gender.
Well, done. You’re learning.
Transgender... The pronoun for the gender they identify with ( it's non binary where you use they and them)
The mental illness is irrelevant unless it's multiple personality disorder then it's the presenting identity at the time.... But sometimes they will all agree.....
Are they the people with a bonus hole?
You've come across folk with a bonus hole Hopkirk... Lucky you ;-)

I just take people as they are, having said that I have met many folk with a nob drooping from their forehead... but wisdom has taught me not to mention it.
Question Author
rowan, I am simply playing about with words and old jokes. Schizophrenics were (wrongly) thought by some people to have split personalities - there was more than one person occupying their brain so the old joke was that could would be talking to 'them'.
(That is now recognised as multiple personality disorder).
