I see, and you are claiming that all myths that lots of people have believed are true.
Therefore the myth of the intellectually inferior black race is true.
The myth of the inherently greedy Jew is true.
The myth of women being lesser beings than men is true.
The myth that war makes boys into men is true.
Oh, also the myth that you’re born male or female and that’s what you stay until you die? Also true based on your claim.
Drag didn’t say it’s true. Drag said it’s not fictional. Fiction and truth are not a dichotomy. They’re not even mutually exclusive. There’s plenty of things that are both or neither.
Eh, that’s weird but I’m cool with it. If they want that to be their pronoun, whatevs. But that doesn’t mean they understand the concepts of truth and fiction, since they apparently don’t.

Sure this is what you want to claim?

The thesaurus disagrees with you.
You do not decide on how everyone else uses language.
Three examples, with evidence, of each please. Note that your personal opinion is note evidence.
But but but! Drag talks in third person, so what Drag says must be important! …right?
…right?

Nah they think it’s cool, and not realizing, or admitting, that it’s annoying and stupid.
Drag doesn’t use they/them pronouns. Drag uses drag/dragself pronouns in all grammatical persons.
Everyone uses they/them pronouns. They/them are gender-neutral. That applies to you as much as everyone else on the planet.
I really get that you want to control how others use language. That’s not your call.
So let me get this straight
calling someone a pedant= crossing a civility line
Calling someone what they explicitly ask not to be called = a-ok
I am not a moderator in this community, the rules here are not my call.
Also, there is no situation in which they/them is a pejorative. Unlike ‘pedant,’ which is literally a pejorative.
Are you going to follow me from thread to thread harassing me? Shall I alert the Lemmy administrators?
Drag doesn’t use “you” pronouns either. Drag uses drag/dragself pronouns in all grammatical persons.
Cool. I’m still calling you ‘you’ and ‘they’ because that’s how English works.
They are gender-neutral words.
