They/them, which is a gender neutral pronoun, would be an appropriate way to refer to drag, if there weren’t any pronouns that refer specifically to dragon riders. But since there are, they/them is about as appropriate for drag as it is for an average man or woman. Drag thinks you’ve misunderstood the they/them pronoun. It doesn’t refer specifically to nonbinary people, it refers to any group or person lacking specified gender. Drag is not lacking specified gender, drag’s gender is very specified.

You can refer to men or women as they, as you are not specifying a gender with the world “they”

So you are making up grammar rules, this has nothing to do with gender. Bye.

  So you’re saying that your reluctance to use drag/dragself pronouns is equal to your reluctance to use she and he pronouns, and you start an argument with anyone who uses a he or a she pronoun too?
  
  Okay, thanks. If you’re not treating drag any differently than other people, then drag feels okay. Sorry for assuming that you were singling drag out.
