Linguists of the Fediverse: the usage of "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun, is it used with a singular or plural verb?

If you are on #reddit and want to see less targeted ads, set your gender as nonbinary or do custom "I prefer myself as" and set whatever you want. Reddit basically don't know how to target those #genders with ads, they might send you less gender specific ads. Even if you are not nonbinary or anything set it like that.

What's a good book that clearly explain the plurality of possible #genders in humans (or even mammals in general if that's a thing), which would not "scare" a person who believes that there's only two clear gender categories (female and male)?

Edit: thank you for the answers so far! They made me realize that I am looking for something maybe more factual and scientific (like, some people identify more as a man / woman / neither because of these genes or hormones) and not just descriptive.. Does that exist?

Ahh, the five #genders

"The #patriarchalLogic that draws #politicalHierarchies between #genders intervenes…to appropriate collective wealth through unspeakable cruelty. The biologistic theology of #NeoFascism complements the dreary neo-liberal competition with a fanatical system of refuting egalitarianism. If the “battle” is “cultural”, it is above all by the way in which #culture, conceived as the sphere from which to organise…the extra-economic processes of capital accumulation, is obscured."

Look for warning signs:

hier ist ihr Ticket, gute Fahrt & beehren Sie uns bald wieder“)

Ahh, the four #genders

In the field of scholarly communication (#scholcomm), "most men agree there are equal promotion opportunities for people of all #genders (62%…), while women (50%) and non-binary or gender diverse (26%) are less likely to agree." I don't think anyone is surprised by those disparities. At the same time, "63% of heterosexual respondents agreed that people of all sexual orientations have equal opportunities for promotion and 67% of gay or lesbian respondents agreed."
