There’s definitely some additional nuance (like a pronouns in bio/username situation) but this should cover the broad needs of anyone who is approaching this with good faith.

I don’t understand why this is so difficult for some people. It’s not like a whole lot has changed right?. Most everyone have already been using they/them for quite some time. The only different being is now, it’s best not to assume gender and default to they/them until asked otherwise.
The way I see it is If these people are able to make the incredibly mind-bogglingly difficult transition from who they once were, to who they are now- including not just facing, but overcoming the emotional, physical, and social challenges- in comparison, it’s should take very little effort for anyone to transition their use of pronouns to properly accommodate them.
For singular when speaking about someone who is cis? I think you might be in a bubble.
I told a friend that you had said this, and they want to know what you mean by “bubble.”
If the above example of a gender neutral sentence made sense to you- then it’s safe to say that using they/them in the singular is common enough that it would be considered a completely natural part of our lexicon.
It’s been done for centuries
From what I know, Shakespeare did that, so it might be you who is in a bubble.
