Do you understand this piece from BBC News website?
“20-year-old Robin came out as non-binary and changed their name last year.
It’s been an adjustment that Robin’s family have been getting used to, and so we brought Robin and their mum Sarah together to openly discuss Robin's non-binary gender identity, and also their pansexuality.”
I am not discussing any moral matter here , no judgement but simply the use of English. I grasp that this is about a person of uncertain gender, but what is non- binary? Pansexuality?
The use of “their” refers to more than one person, but sentence does not read that way.
It makes no sense............![??? ??? ???](/images/smilies/question.gif)
