As someone who uses they/them pronouns I always find this article to be a bit misguided,

I'm not going to get angry about it, or lose any sleep, I just think RMS has a naive understanding in this domain and is overly confident in his conclusions.

Some people use it/its pronouns. Has Stallman commented on that?

[poulpy123 → qualudeheart]

A pronoun that is widely used for centuries and would be perfect for the he task ? Better invent some instead

[snvzz → qualudeheart]

These one is interesting. They're used for things, and animals.

People are just animals, after all. These pronouns recognize that fact.

[socialismisok → snvzz]

Some people do choose to apply it/its to themselves.
