There’s definitely some additional nuance (like a pronouns in bio/username situation) but this should cover the broad needs of anyone who is approaching this with good faith.

    • problem 1: why are you choosing he/him to be gender neutral and not she/her? it gives the impression that grammatical maleness is default and you are going to get pushback for that, whether your intentions are sexist or not.
    • problem 2: making he/him gender neutral strips the identity from male and masculine people.
    • problem 3: you’re suggesting a massive overhaul when there’s literally already a word in place.

    and NO they/them doesn’t “refer to multiple.” the tom scott video abjectly disagrees with you on that, so don’t twist things. even Shakespeare used they/them to refer to singular people.

    honestly this conversation is pointless and boring so i’ll end it here.

        “If someone dropped their wallet would you tell them?”

        Perfectly normal and already understood.
