The last news report about an activity of Ms. Sulkowicz was in 2019, and was quite interesting. It deserves mention. Nicmart (talk) 00:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The use of these terms are confusing and grammatically incorrect to the extent that they use a plural term to refer to a single person. 2604:2D80:ED08:A00:D8DC:87E6:3F10:9ACF (talk) 19:20, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See singular they for further information about how this pronoun has been used throughout the history of the English language. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 21:19, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thrilling, how does that apply here? Which is more common? Which is more accurate? and which is more direct? 73.100.184.209 (talk) 15:52, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article follows Wikipedia's Manual of Style in regards to pronouns. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 01:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article itself says Sulkowicz uses both she/her and they/them pronouns. So why does the article exclusively use the latter rather than the former? 69.112.14.137 (talk) 03:39, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
