    I’m a native English speaker & I also read it and was like “Who else is engaging in this madness?!” If I’ve learned anything: It seems if we’re reading and it doesn’t make sense we’ll assume the “they” is of the person; not that the writer has omitted anyone.

      Hey thanks, I thought there was something wrong with me with all the down voting… It just feels the language looses specificity… But for some people I guess I’m just an anti trans rights demon that needs to be down voted to the depths of hell 🤷‍♂️
