If you want to say that, sure

But you objectively are one human being, not multiple. Also, they is used when the person says "I have no gender". So how are you also a woman, if you are not a woman?

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?

It's bulls---

 @WhatisaWoman? from Michigan  commented…3yrs3Y

So you are just using they to be different than other people? Are you a rebellious teenager?

 @B7WQM4Z from North Carolina  commented…6mos6MO

Yeah, because clearly the height of rebellion is… pronouns. How will society ever recover?

 @B8PC6ZTRepublican  from California  disagreed…4wks4W

Pronouns aren't the height of rebellion, but in the case mentioned by @devops_dave above, it seems like anyone who identifies within the gender binary who uses they them pronouns is just trying to be different and unnecessarily challenge societal norms. If they want to be different, they can behave differently from the norm, but they should not expect us to respect their wacky pronouns.
