Yes, I’m one of those — a they/them! I love the hilarity of the rhetoric around such simple and generalized terms, and I love that I have now been able to embrace they/them as my pronouns. It’s been a process though.
When I first started questioning, I was stuck in binary thinking — if I wasn’t she/her, I must be he/him because that’s what we are taught. He/him? No, that didn’t feel right, and so I was left feeling, untethered.
They/Them didn’t ‘feel’ right until I allowed myself to consider that I was neither she/her nor he/him. In releasing gendered pronouns (and the pressure on myself to ‘fit it’), I finally realized, yes, they/them fit quite nicely, thank you very much.
