I don't disagree with being inclusive, I disagree with the idea that grammatical details of how we speak have anything to do with inclusiveness.
It's like if I start complaining that you use "their" to refer to a software vendor because that implies there's more than one person involved and so you're not being inclusive of solo founders. Or that "their" antromorphizes a vendor and therefore isn't inclusive of sea cucumbers.
In reality, this has zero consequence to anyone, other than guys who enjoy feeling offended on behalf of others.
