...I was thinking we could just eliminate all the other pronouns and just use "IT" for everything so I checked.

The plural forms of the personal pronoun 'it' are
they

as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and
them

as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

A horse stood in the field. It
looked at us as we waved to it. (singular)


The horses stood in a field. They
looked at us as we waved to them

...but what if the horses is self identifying as cows that day??? How about "Hey Assholes!". Everybody got one and they are not gender specific.

CNN Money: Don't Say "Hey Guys!" in The Workplace Anymore

http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/rachel-peterson/2018/08/13/cnn-money-dont-say-hey-guys-workplace-anymore

You can't just clock in and focus on your job anymore, identity politics now dictates how you introduce yourself to a room of colleagues.

Julia Carpenter, CNN Money writer specializing in gender in the workplace, listed ways to avoid accidentally misgendering a coworker.

People who "identity as non-binary, gender non-conforming or genderqueer prefer 'they/them' pronouns to reflect their identity and gender expression" but "for many workplaces, making space for non-binary people is tricky, because some people may prefer certain pronouns but present themselves in a more masculine or more feminine way." This confusion can make coworkers, "misidentify them without even realizing their mistake."

Well, here's the rub, Julia ... they didn't make a "mistake." If someone wants to be a "non-binary, gender non-conforming, or genderqueer" freak ... whether they "present themselves in a more masculine or more feminine way" ... WHATEVER THE HELL ANY OF THAT INCOHERENT DRIVEL IS EVEN SUPPOSED TO MEAN ... then it is up to them not to take offense whenever someone might highlight the undeniable FACT that they are what they are - a FREAK. 

One way to combat this, according to Max Masure the "co-founder of Argo Collective, a group created to train workplaces on gender and inclusion" is to stop using the phrase "Hey, guys," when walking into a group of colleagues because you might make the mistake of "misgender[ing] someone who is masculine-presenting, who's non-binary." "Hey, everyone" however, "can help make non-binary employees feel less 'other.'"

It's okay, Max ... your indescribable freaks ARE "other" ... so, "Hey, guys!" is a win/win for everyone. 

"Even people who use 'he/she' pronouns can do their part" by "calling out whatever pronouns they prefer in LinkedIn profiles or adding them to workplace directories and email signatures." Or you can introduce "a gender-neutral bathroom on every floor" of your building so that you can create a "more emotional bandwidth to be a genderqueer activist in the workplace."

Don't worry about how much money that may cost or infringing on other people's right to privacy because all that matters is being a genderqueer activist at work.

"Introduce a gender-neutral bathroom on every floor" - Why doesn't "the can is over there" suffice?

"Create more emotional bandwidth" - WTF does that horsesh!t even mean, eh?!

"All that matters is being a genderqueer activist at work" - Obviously, Max ... you're a sick retard who lives a worthless, meaningless, clueless existence. No one but you wants to be a genderqueer activist, you dumbass. Get a life!
