Yep, it was about Roald Dahl exactly!

Interesting, I started noticing "they" about 8 years ago, probably, because I'm not from the UK/US? So far I've never ever had to use "they". Because I never had this problem? Or because I find this impolite? Or I invented a way to not using someone's gender? Dunno...
Anyway, you can't call an unknown person with "they" ("They, you dropped something!" 🤣), hence back to my question:

Ok, you are really going to hate me on this one. But I found this in the news and again in a cartoon show called South Park, 2005.
It says in 1 minute, 25 seconds about transgenderisum.
Any links to the episode?
For some reason, my iPhone can’t seem to copy the link.
Still trying to figure that one out.
But you can find it super easy. Just go to YouTube,
Enter South Park, 2005 transgender.
You will see a whole list.
Think I found it.

Works fine for me on both Android and iPhone. The episode is called "The Cissy".
