    I genuinely cannot tell if you are trolling. I am a French speaker. I work in it every single day.

    Vous is NOT A THIRD PERSON PRONOUN. IT IS A SECOND PERSON PRONOUN. IT MEANS “You all”. THAT IS NOT THE KIND OF PRONOUNS TRANS PEOPLE HAVE PREFERENCES ABOUT.

    MY PARTNER IS NONBINARY AND USES THEY/THEM PRONOUNS IN ENGLISH. THERE IS NO EQUIVALENT TO THAT IN FRENCH.

    The only pronoun suggested by anyone as a gender neutral one in French is “iel”. It is not in common use at all and lacks any kind of widespread adoption.

    How are you so entitled that you can continue to be this blatantly wrong about something you clearly do not understand? It’s genuinely incredible.
