That's because in their mind, 75 is bigger than 105.
The quarter pounder has more meat than the third pounder because 4>3.

It's a universal rule that anyone who references their supposed IQ like this is at most half as smart as they think they are
They are in the 15th percentile. So they think they are in the top 15%
As someone with a below-average IQ of 123, i can say that IQ doesnt measure how critical you are of your own beliefs
There is some bliss in having a universal personal pronoun w/o grammatical genders whatsoever (ő) in a languange (hungarian). Often you can even omit it altogether from a sentence.
But let's not mention the many cases...
You’re they/them until you couple up, in which case you and your partner split the pronouns between them?
I lost my pronouns in the divorce 😔
I would like to subscribe to this level of rational social design
As someone speaking a native language in which I need to rephrase myself multiple times and need to work with multiple / and * before a sentence is both grammatically correct and perfectly gendered - I still take my time because inclusion is worth it - I just don't get why anybody could ever be upset about English gender inclusive language.
An example:
Every cyclist should wear their helmet to protect their head from injury.
Jede/r Radfahrer*In sollte seinen/ihren Helm tragen, um seinen/ihren Kopf vor Verletzungen zu schützen.
We usually tend to rephrase these sentences like this:
Alle Radfahrenden sollten Helme tragen, um das Risiko für Kopfverletzungen zu minimieren.
All cyclists should wear helmets to minimise the risk of head injuries.
I don't know where you got this from or if you just invented it, but I have never heard/seen anyone mix * and /.
People interested in gender neutral language used / before the idea of more than two genders came up. Whoever wanted to specifically include non-binary people started using _ or *.
Also it makes little sense imo to include nb's in the subject of a sentence to go back to binary scheme in the pronouns..
My highschool teacher wanted us to use * and / as given in my example. I usually rephrase myself to not having to use / that much but idk if you can just use the male or female possessive pronoun to include everyone (if you use the * at some point in the sentence to make it clear) I honestly just use the / to be super sure.
Idk what their problem is /s
They/them is grammatically correct for singular nouns, but maybe it’s best to just use neopronouns in the case of someone (like this lady who is opposed to using someone’s correct pronouns) being difficult. But I feel people who want to be difficult are going to be difficult for whatever reason, and it’s not about the pronouns or grammar at that point.
For reference https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
Edit why is my comment being read uncharitably by the downvoters? Its weird behavior, I don’t get why someone would do that lol
I think neopronouns would piss off those against the concept of non-binary or trans even more.
This is like the 5th funniest thing I've read all day. (It's been a very good day.)
