But it's fine, I get it now: some people like to have everyday language reaffirm their gender, including to people they've never met, so okay. Not a big deal.
However, some people would just like to opt out of all that, and singular they/them implies that either the gender isn't relevant to the story or that the person is someone who's done the whole 'opting out' thing.
