Could there be a dudette, and a dudeitte to complete the singular theme to give us more to choose from?

And unless you have an archaic Middle English dictionary, "they" is still plural. Perhaps it's singular in the California Dictionary of Wokeness.

I also hope you realize all this back and forth jabbing debate is all just in good fun. Merry Christmas
It's obvious to me that you aren't quite grasping that I find no humor in your "jabbing" at all. When people weaponize words, it's not funny. It's insulting.

PROUDLY woke - and sad to see so much bigotry and fear in this community.

Seems that your belief is “Sir” and “Mam” are weaponized words and need to be corrected. To the majority this is, as you say, insulting.
Proudly not woke or bigoted, and certainly not in fear.

The best antidote to bigotry , fear ( hate?) is to point out the errors in fact, faults in logic ,reason, doing this exposes the hollow weaponization of words

Easy to say if one is a male. As a female please don’t call me “Sir”.

As you wish, Ma'am.

I guess we can say "Man" when speaking to a male or female. If it is a female, "man" is short for "woman" in this case. So, for those that feel "WOKE" I'll just address you as "Man" as in "Hey Man." If in an informal setting, I will use the term "Dude." I figure "Dude" can also be short for "Dudette" in the case of addressing a female. If the person in Non-binary, I will just use the greeting "Hey Dog" so as not to limit that, it or what to a male or female gender. That should satisfy all the "Woke" and bra-less anarchists that insist that it is only their world and we just free load a ride on it.
Please identify yourself as "WOKE" with a sign so that the majority of us NORMAL citizens can make special concessions for you. After all, as good citizens we do not wish to offend anyone, or do we say any-it, or maybe anything?

I refuse to grant legitimacy to pronouns dreamed up by mentally ill people. Dance around it all you want but they do have mental health issues.

If a member of our armed forces is that sensitive, perhaps they should work for the U.S.P.S. instead of the USMC or the USN, etc. That's my opinion and if that offends you, that's not my problem so don't attempt to make it mine. IMO, those sensitive folks that are easily offended should stay in their "safe rooms" if they cannot cope with harsh reality.
I go out of my way to offend people...
