"I’ve decided I am changing my pronouns to THEY/THEM after a lifetime of
being at war with my gender I’ve decided to embrace myself for who I am,
inside and out. I’m so excited and privileged to be surrounded by
people that support me in this decision but I’ve been very nervous about
announcing this because I care too much about what people think but
f**k it! I understand there will be many mistakes and mis gendering but
all I ask is you please please try. I hope you can see me like I see
myself now." --- pop "artist" Sam Smith
“I am changing my pronouns to ‘we/us/our.’ You see, I — or rather we —
identify not just as myself but as all selves. We identify as me, but
also you and everyone else. You might protest that you are not me, to
which we would agree. You are not me because there is no me. You are us,
we are you, yours is ours. This isn’t difficult to understand.” —Matt
Walsh
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

Absolutely.
Several old time explorers commented on how scrupulously polite and utterly ethical cannibal societies were among themselves. You don't look sidelong at a man's wife nor abuse his trust if he is armed and apt to eat you.
