Couldn't find English version of this story, but it sounds like a huge real estate deal in Jerusalem with major implications.

Looks like someone bought a bunch of land from the greek church. This is related to the land that was leased from the churches, and developed, and people "own" apartments which revert to the churches in 30 or so years.

To make sense of that story, you're required to think that previously, the state of Washington was marking your drivers license with which gender you identified with, rather than whether you have an xx or xy chromosome and associated physical characteristics.  Together with such identifying marks as hair color, eye color, height, weight, and age.

"Before today I was walking around with an inaccurate gender marker. This is more accurate because I identify as nonbinary," said Wu, who uses the pronouns "they."

I am confused if it is "they" then it should also be "we were"

They is singular. You've been miseducated.

-1 (or at least -1/2)

"They" is generally considered a valid gender-agnostic reference to a singular person. I'm talking even without all this gender identity bull, instead of something like s/he.

No, it's just that now they have an idiot-proof tool to easily broadcast their stupidity to the world.
