- Panel 3: “You” hiding from the mob who was beating “Singular ‘They’”
- Panel 4: “German ‘Sie’” hiding with even more fear next to “You”

What is the singular reflexive form of “they”? “Themselves” sounds too plural. “Themself” is inventing a new word, which is not problematic, but if we’re going to invent new words we may as well start using “ve” or “ze” as gender neutral pronouns.
