I do wish there was an agreed upon nonbinary pronoun. 'They' has always been confusing to me, regardless of the context, and it makes me think that the nb person sounds like a hivemind or a fusion or something...

Yeah, I just can't mentally parse "they" as singular because I had it drilled into my head for years in my English classes that "they" was a plural pronoun.

For the record, 'they' has a longer pedigree as a singular pronoun than 'you' does, outside of the sense of referring to a social superior.

Depends on the area actually as it ... cycles. In some plural 'they' was first while in some it was singular. Around 18th century there was a change to opposite in most areas ... then it reverted again and now most use both.

I'm fine with singular 'they' in deliberately underspecified contexts - "Who called?" "I don't know, their number was blocked" but I really struggle with it for specific single people. I end up with this mental image of a sea of those no-avatar silhouettes.
