    I thought it was the word supposed to be the possessive. As in “her car”.

    Why does she/her use two words for female denunciation, is there a difference?

      Nah, English is just weird.

      “I ate her apple while looking at her and she was mad” / “i ate their apple while looking at them and they were mad” are essentially the same sentence when you think about it. One just has specific gender markers attached, and some people don’t like that

          Ok, complex idea boiled down to cliff notes: normalisation.

          I’m cisfem, but if someone who doesn’t know me refers to me as they, i’m fine with it. I’m not a they, but allowing this habit opens the door a bit more for someone who is.
