- King-Aaron 7y agoThis is why I personally tend to refer to people on the internet as 'them/they/their', or by their username, limiting any possible pronoun specific arguments or the chance of offending people.
- rahuldottech 7y agoYep. Gender-neutral pronouns is the way to go. It's about more than just offending people. It's also about (mis|under)representation and subconscious biases.
- elif 7y agoI understand your perspective, but 'generic he' is grammatically correct for uncertain, unspecified or gender neutral contexts in English. I've corrected my comment since you've informed me that gender is relevant in this context, but it is more pedantry than correction.
- neotek 7y agoTo be even more pedantic, "they" has been used as a gender-neutral pronoun for over 600 years. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/word-of-the-year/they https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/word-of-the-ye...
