"A high-profile Indiana activist known for racial and social justice advocacy has apologized for lying about being Black, according to a published report.
Satchuel Cole, who uses they and them pronouns, has worked with Indiana chapters of Black Lives Matter and Showing Up for Racial Justice and apologized in a social media post for taking “space as a Black person while knowing I am white," the Indianapolis Star reported."
"Questions about the racial identity of Cole, who was born Jennifer Lynn Benton, were first reported by BlackIndyLIVE.com. Benton changed their name to Satchuel Cole in 2010."
I looked up the they and them gender. It seems that instead of saying "Satchuel went to a movie.", one should say "They went to a movie.". If a friend invites you over for dinner and you're on the phone with him, instead of saying "I will be there in a few minutes.", you say "They will be there in a few minutes.". It also changes term's of possession or belonging to. You no longer say, "That is my car." It is now "That is their car.".
I read an article a few weeks ago where it caused momentary confusion at a doctor's office. A kid was at the doctor's office for some reason or other. The parents referred to their son as "they" and the staff was inquiring about another kid.
