It seems like everyone these days is using she. Its perfectly acceptable english to use 'they'. For example: Once a user is signed in, they are taken... Much better imo, as the gender is meaningless in that sentence.
- losvedir 15y agoAbsolutely. People complain about it being plural, but words in English have both number and gender, and I don't see why being "wrong" on the number is any worse than being "wrong" on gender. That said, it's not "wrong" at all because English has a long history of using the word "they" for a generic pronoun. It's basically a different word from the "they" in "they are my friends", just written and pronounced the same.
