It's easier to say and understand for most people compared to he/them or she/them. One of the people I know who uses he/they prefers those pronouns to express their gender fluidity. The other uses them because it offers flexibility as they transition.

You're right, though. It's a confusing counter to grammar rules when you first come across it.

This does make more sense, thanks for pointing that out. I have a personal interest in trying to learn more about non-binary ways of speaking - fun fact I learned that my brothers and sister would refer to my child as their nibling, rather than niece or nephew.

Anyway, You can see where the confusion might lie, in that he/him, she/her, and they/them are paired pronouns (as referenced in the options for your pronouns that are listed) in terms of being different was of referencing the same individual, whether as the active noun or the passive noun in a sentence. e.g. "She is running, I am watching her"

But if someone preferred to go by he/they as the active pronoun, then logically the conjoining passive pair word would be him/them -

"He/they is running, and I am watching him/them"

or

"She/they is running, and I am watching her/them"

That's all! Sorry

I read it as either:

"She is running" or
"They are running"
