I suspect the ESL thing is a factor. The automatic use that English does have built-in wouldn't be as automatic to someone who hasn't been speaking English all their life.

ayrt. I'm ESL, never had any problems whatsoever with understanding they/them. If anything, I would say being non-English speaker first makes it easier.

It's not about "not understanding they/them" it's about a lot of authors being incapable of writing it interchanged with plural they/them without it getting confusing. Just like a lot of authors aren't great at pronoun use in same-sex smut scenes.

That I can believe. But the comment I replied to said specifically that the issue is ESL not having the understanding of English that a native speaker has. I argued against that as that has not been my experience.
