This is an incredibly stupid social experiment

Nah, but your urge to police it is interesting

Are they policing it? I haven’t seen a single unarmed person get shot yet.

Question 4 drag
If drag had access to BoringNormie Pills, would drag take them?
(Assume they would permanently or temporarily reset identity to a highly common one)

“doesn’t” and “uses” are third person.

Conjugation depends on the individual pronoun, not on the grammatical structure. English isn’t Latin. A lot of people complained about singular they/them because of the conjugation, but we moved past that misunderstanding a decade ago.

If conjugation depends on the individual pronoun, the pronoun you used was third person since that’s the conjugation you used. They/them is also third person and singular and plural are conjugated the same, so the comparison doesn’t apply.
To be clear, please use any and all pronouns you’re comfortable with. But don’t write a third person sentence and insist it’s first person.

Conjugation doesn’t depend on the grammatical structure. Not alone, and not via the pronoun. Drag will prove it: they/them and you/you use the same conjugation, but are in different persons. You don’t think “they” is a second person pronoun, do you?
