Singular they for when you aren't sure of gender actually seems to simplify language quite a bit in my experience. There are lots of non-non-binary situations that its helpful and you can avoid those awkward "he or she" "his or her" type phrases. Plus, everyone knows how to use they already, never had anyone get confused by it. "Bob went to the store and they bought some beer" is completely parsable by everyone - nobody is getting confused unless they are trying to be.
