No you’d say “They are tall.” Because that’s how we conjugate that in English. They has always been used as both a singular and a plural because we don’t always know the gender of who were talking about. In French il/ils is the default when you don’t know a 3rd person’s gender. Il/ils is masculine.
It isn’t. I’m a French speaker, I’m telling you it isn’t. Vous is second person singular or plural. They is third person singular or plural. They is NEVER second person. Vous is NEVER third person. This is how the language is used around the world today.
I genuinely cannot tell if you are trolling. I am a French speaker. I work in it every single day.
Vous is NOT A THIRD PERSON PRONOUN. IT IS A SECOND PERSON PRONOUN. IT MEANS “You all”. THAT IS NOT THE KIND OF PRONOUNS TRANS PEOPLE HAVE PREFERENCES ABOUT.
MY PARTNER IS NONBINARY AND USES THEY/THEM PRONOUNS IN ENGLISH. THERE IS NO EQUIVALENT TO THAT IN FRENCH.
The only pronoun suggested by anyone as a gender neutral one in French is “iel”. It is not in common use at all and lacks any kind of widespread adoption.
How are you so entitled that you can continue to be this blatantly wrong about something you clearly do not understand? It’s genuinely incredible.

No shit
It’s for people who don’t want to be called it
This is you just being angry for the sake of being angry
Stick with masc pronouns, as has been explained to you from the beginning; if someone wants to be called Vous then they will use it
