eslBEAST here, is using they/them to refer to a person who you genuinely don't know anything about, including gender, a troon thing or actual grammar?

I didn't mean that in the troon "I don't know your pronouns" sense geg, I meant it as "Somephono told me about an annoying coworker but didn't tell me anything about its gender"
I think I can just use "it" and it would be grammatically correct

if you are referring to a troon, i would honestly just call it "it" or something like that to be really demeaning
there arent many situations where you are referring to a person who you genuinely wouldnt know of they are man or a woman, but it is technically grammatically correct yes

no a grammatically accurate version would be referring to them by their name. If you know someone named Jack but you don't know their gender, instead of saying "He/She/They did this", you should say "Jack did this" as it is gender neutral. They/them is a hacking lgbt friendlyerino thing that came later on.

It is a proper usage of grammar, but it is also fine to guess what gender they are, and it would be gemmy to make wholesome transfolx seethe by assuming they are a biological male because of the way they type, their mannerisms, and how they present themselves online.

No. Normally you'd use something like 'his or hers'. For example, 'his or hers legal status will be challenged in court on the 27th'. 'They' is improper English, akin to saying 'gonna' instead of 'going to'.
