One of his listed transgressions is that he's a transphobe because he mentioned how "they" is traditionally a plural pronoun and listed some singular third-person suggestions to could be used instead.

Open letters like these are often known to be low effort, but not even proofreading it for such basic mistakes is a new low.

@wuwei Please actually ask people who are affected before coming out with takes like this.

That might be how it seems to him (even though he's had plenty of people trying to explain to him…), but do you actually know the effect of those words on people?

Did you ask?
