You’re going out of your way to create a problem that doesn’t exist.
The problem does exist, that’s why you’re making suggestions about how to work around the problem. I’ve been confused before by people using “they” as a pronoun in exactly this sense. I’m not going out of my way to create a problem, it’s a problem that I’ve experienced IRL. Please don’t try to invalidate my experience.
If you just don’t respect people’s identity then admit you’re bigoted instead of hiding behind faulty logic.
You’re jump to conclusions.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to express. I can’t make sense of what you’ve written.
You don’t use the person’s name every time when you’re talking about them in their presence.
Those who appreciate polite behaviour do.
it is fairly common to use the third person pronoun of someone during a group conversation, even while they are there
But is improper to do so. The proper way to refer to a person who is present is by using their name.
“I was with Dan (they/them) and Steve the other day. They hadn’t brought a poster they needed and went back to the car to get it.”
This demonstrates the semantic problem with using “they” as a pronoun: it isn’t clear who went back to the car, (1) just Dan or (2) both Dan and Steve. Nor is it clear who needed the poster and who hadn’t brought it.

No sources.
My biggest dream always was to get rid of my parents and live independently on my own but I’m just incapable.
Is there anything I can do?
Not while you see yourself as being incapable.

No.
Shunning politics is saying “my time on this earth is so precious, I can waste no time on thoughts of those less fortunate than I”
No.

You’re not going to bother to point out the fault in my logic?
