Previously there was a discussion whether Sam will be raped or not, now some gender-related stuff which I wouldn't even think of. Tally's clearly a girl and grammar-nazi or whatever. IMHO plot's nice but tiring a bit and I feel that it's good it comes to an end finally.

Tilly isn't a girl; that's kind of why the whole conversation is occurring. They're non-binary and use they/them pronouns.
Personally I haven't been into this arc, but that happens sometimes. I'm just more interested in other characters and the relationships between them.
As far as terms for NB people in relationships, "partner" is pretty popular, and there are other ones like SO, datemate, sweetheart, beloved, etc. which really depend on the person/relationship. But generally I hear "partner" for a variety of relationship configurations.
Welu:
Note: There is a thread in DISCUSS about gender and language.
Is it cold in here?:

Welcome, new people!
The guy who was creepy about Sam has been sent flying through the exit door. I do not remember whether we opened the door before throwing him through it.
Talking about gender variance is much more of a normal forum thing. I urge listening with an open mind. Tilly is clearly in a girl type body, but what got put into that body seems not to have been a girl.
Oh my. This is a weird thought. Tilly never actually said they are non binary. What if they are just using non gendered pronouns on principle? Or to be a grammar troll?
gajatko:
This was my exact though. She likes language puns and refers to Hanners as "ma'am". I guess she thinks that "they" is more formal or sth like that. I don't know anything about LGB so I always look for the most simple and straight-forward explanation of things. (I didn't know any non-straight person in my 28 year life experience, except one gay who was a complete moron).

I think my idea is weird and that the most simple and straightforward explanation is that Tilly is non binary and chose their pronouns to fit that.
