Personal Pronouns

Essentially, a personal pronoun is a basic as shit grammatical rule that substitutes for a noun, a concept that has recently succumbed to the abuse of Tumblrtards and autists who seek to maintain their special snowflake status.

Most languages have three different types of personal pronouns - first-person (I, we), second-person (you) and third-person (he, she, it, they). However, when the internet talks about personal pronouns, it's usually only talking about third-person pronouns.

For quite a while, English has consistently had only four third-person pronouns: he (for guys), she (for girls), it (for concepts, physical things and some animals) and they (for people whose gender the speaker doesn't yet know, people in general, hermaphrodites and special snowflakes who are too awesome to "conform" to the gender binary).

Most of us are perfectly happy being referred to by normal, everyday pronouns. However, special snowflakes, as usual, don't like the idea of being normal in any way, so they insist on making multiple sets of "new" pronouns and forcing everyone to refer to them by said pronouns, instead of the long-standing traditional ones we've always had. If you refuse to do this, you are "misgendering" them, despite the fact that the idiots who demand unique pronouns are usually the same idiots who term themselves as non-binary aka not male or female, meaning that using they, a gender-neutral pronoun, would not be misgendering them.
