No, I’m not going to change the rules of English grammar because you want to go by “they.”

“Ashley said they want to go to their house because they have their food there.”

…. I… that sentence is grammatically correct… what even

I am sorry your English teachers failed you.

I have a degree in English. People have been using “they” for singular to individual whose gender is unknown since Shakespeare. This isn’t the hill you want to die on, CK.

Even if it wasn’t around since shakespere, the “english won’t change” is a stupid argument because english is literally always changing and words always take on new meanings. I mean, before 2016, dab was a small quantity, now it’s a specific pose. up until the late 1900s, sick only had one meaning, now it can also mean awesome.
Even if they wasn’t a singular pronoun hundreds of years ago, there is absolutely no reason it can’t be singular today.
