A game theory analysis suggests that opposition to degendering English pronouns, particularly the use of singular 'they,' is more prevalent among trans women than trans men or non-binary individuals. The author posits that trans women may benefit more from existing gendered pronoun interventions, making the transition to degendered pronouns a perceived loss. Conversely, trans men and non-binary individuals may not experience the same level of benefit from current systems, thus seeing potential long-term advantages in degendering without immediate drawbacks.
