“She goes.” Correct.
“It goes.” Correct.
“They goes.” Wrong. And that’s just confusing for people who never ever were taught that in any form of education. I know it’s an old construct and not a new innovation but for people like me it feels just off. It’s not malice on my part to act against different genders, I’m just explaining why that part of the English language is weird

You don’t understand that one is first person singular and the other is not? Is your basic English really so much worse than mine?

First person singular and third person singular. Both singular.

It’s not wrong, it’s just generally offensive since colloquially “it” refers to objects rather than a individual.
And as it follows, “it” is used as a insulting term when people want to dehumanize something.
