They as a pronoun is not always used to refer to multiple people. If you're referring to someone who you don't know the gender of, you use they. If someone says "I visited my friend this weekend, it was a long drive to get there." the grammatically correct response would be "where do they live?" Some people prefer to use they as their personal pronoun since they feel like they don't identify with the commonly accepted gender roles and identity that are customary to men and women in the United States.

It's important to note that the use of "they" as a pronoun isn't exclusive to those who identify as having no gender. Many people use "they" as their preferred pronoun even when they identify within the gender binary. For example, someone might identify as a woman but choose to use "they" pronouns to challenge societal expectations around gender norms. What are your thoughts on this perspective?
