The 'familiarity' standard is weird, no lie. It's just so... subjective? How can that be a language rule? It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't encountered it before, and I've never appreciated its use in Spanish before now. I'm beginning to see how it can have some theoretical benefits maybe. :) I mentioned just now in another comment that suffixes might eventually fill the gap. Just as we grew "you both" and "you all" for 2nd person pronouns, maybe we'd begin using "they both" and "they all" for 3rd person pronouns meant to indicate plurals of different forms.
While I enjoy shows that explore the multiple processes of consciousness (Herman's Head, Inside Out, the mind palace of The Flight Attendant), I don't know much about official DID. If anybody is using "they/them" pronouns intending to convey that reality, I wonder if "they them" would work as the new suffix using the same pronounced syllables as before but with new grammar?
