    They is grammatically correct for a single person so I’m not even kind of sure what you mean here

      I never said it was incorrect. The problem is forcing people to use ‘they’ when they’d rather use he or she.

        The poster above me here is absolutely right, she shouldn’t be forced to use the wrong pronouns. It might make her uncomfortable.
