Just putting this out there, but I use “they” about queer people or trans people all the time so as to try to keep the discussion from breaking down to personal projections and focused on the logic. I find it obfuscates myself as a target.
That’s exactly a non-lgbtq+ person would do to obfuscate themselves from labeled as being hateful, not that your one though. The racists do it all the time, with I’m not racist, but starts labeling racist things.
