      spinakker the joke was that they are the ‘and’ in “ladies and gentleman” because they go by they/them pronouns and doesn’t prefer to be called a lady or a gentleman.
      Hope that explanation makes sense

      It was a perfect punchline. Some audience members will only appreciate it as circling back to her bit about twins; others will get that and the bonus of yes, indeed, she "came out" before her putative twin.

      nope! just respectful of trans people. plus, singular they has been used for centuries and has recently been recognized for its use as a nonbinary pronoun by Merriam Webster, if you want to read more about it here are some articles:
      www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/singular-nonbinary-they
      www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/merriam-webster-adds-nonbinary-they-pronoun-dictionary-n1055976
      plus, singular they is used the same way as plural they, it just refers to one person which is why it’s called ‘singular’ they. and if you don’t know who to use they in a sentence then i’m not the one failing english buddy
