Call Me ‘They’
So why does standard English impose a gender requirement on the third-person singular?
It does not. There is a third-person gender neutral word in English: "it." It is inclusive and flexible and breaks the stifling prison of gender expectations. It is not binary. Why would you not use this word? "They" is a totally unnecessary, but you obviously have something against it What agenda is served by not calling you it?

About time. We may get an honest census, though his fight to include this question may already have had a chilling effect on everyone being counted.

The candidate was chosen instead of an Asian woman who also campaigned for the role.
Gosh! You mean she wasn't chosen because of her race? How dare they! People should always be chosen only because of their race, creed or ethnic origin: nothing else matters.
I grew up with my German roots, but I had to dig deep to find my French and British ancestry.
At his Social Media Summit, the president claimed, without evidence, that the platforms are throttling conservatives’ follower counts.
It is quite clear that 'the platforms" are increasing his conservative counts and reducing his liberal counts, just to please him. Apparently, they are not doing it enough for his liking. What evidence do I have of this? Who needs evidence: my base likes it.
