A question for my fellow non-binary peeps using "they/them" pronouns:

If I'm talking about a single individual usng your pronouns, do you prefer "themself" or "themselves"?

Examples:

Let them do it for themself.

They dressed themself.

Let them do it for themselves.

They dressed themselves.

@aubreyjones I'd prefer themselves because themself doesn't feel correct (like grammatically), and feel more tailored to "non-binary" than to "random person whose gender I just don't know" (which I prefer).

Not a hard preference at all though, both feel mostly fine

@biyokea In this case, I'm talking about a non-binary character. I'm also non-binary, and use 'they', but I don't want to poison the well yet with my answer. :)
