I have a femboy friend who really enjoys blahaj plushies, is not trans but looks like they is trans at first glance.
Edit: something's wrong with the pronouns and verb conjugation here, because I used a compound sentence containing a compound verb (3 verbs, 'really enjoys', 'is', and 'is') but the subject was the same in all three independent clauses, but in the third independent clause I used the pronoun 'they' to describe the subject, but the subject is still singular, so do I use 'is' or 'are' for the third verb when I conjugate 'to be'?
"they are" is correct, even for a single person.
You would say "they are", just like you say "you are" even if you're just talking to one person.
You're right, "they is" just doesn't really work.
Blahaj is for everyone to enjoy.
Also I'm having trouble parsing that paragraph but you can definitely use they for a singular person.
