they have half a point in that its typically only applied to people when a gender is unknown or you are referring to a group. that falls apart pretty quick though because unknown gender is barely any different from someone choosing not to identify with one. also, half a point is no good in the first place.

Is normally unknown due to not knowing the person though. Using "they" with someone known to you feels rude. As if you're saying "I don't include Grace in my circle, so I use "they" to keep them distant". It really sticks in the throat.
