Finally, we are retiring the "he" and "she" pronouns, words that arose over centuries within male-dominated cultural, literary, academic and religious landscapes helping to imbue physical sex with brutal economic purpose. We're ready to all be "they" because the primary identities of today are humans (neighbors, workers, believers) and we're ready to retire gender roles and move on to treat sexual dimorphism as something only a peg more significant to someone's sense of self than handedness!
