Call me stupid but what exactly is the point of people using "them/they" pronouns?

I really don't understand it. I made the mistake of calling someone a she once and her friend corrected me and said "they/them". How the hell am I supposed to know?

It used to be used strictly for plural but somewhere along the way we substituted it for when gender is unknown because calling a single person an "It" is apparently offensive.
