Yes, They Is
A pronoun stands in place of a noun, so it must take the same form of a verb as that noun would have taken.
For example, if "Judith Butler is", then "they is". We are just going to have to get used to this. And so is they.
This will either be normal on 10 years' time or we'll have won the whole battle.
