If you know your co-worker's child is named "Sam" you don't want to say "son" if she's actually a girl.

- AndrewOMartin 9y agoIf you don't know your co-worker's child's gender, or know it's neither "male" or "female", you don't want to be forced to choose.

It's a tool to help you keeping track of information you don't want to keep track of in your head. My coworkers children are the perfect example for that. Something I do not really care for but something that would make a huge difference.
