#shush slinky#it just. sounds better. themself has been a word for a long time. use it!!!!#not even specifically about people who use they/them; this is still true when talking about someone of unspecified/unknown gender#'somebody took the last cookie— they wanted it all for themself' because theres only one!!!!!!! no need for the ending s!!!#i dont actually care all that much lol its understandable either way. but in my perfect world everyone would get this
