Gender-neutral Pronouns

You might have seen me use ``their'' instead of ``he'' to refer to myself. This is not an error.

Gender is irrelevant in most day-to-day conversations. Gender-aware pronouns makes us think that there's something inherently different between different genders while in reality these differences are irrelevant to the topic of conversation.

Therefore, I usually use gender-neutral pronouns unless if gender is important in the context. The most common is Singular They—it's basically how ``you'' works in modern English but referring to a third party. Others include xi/xir, perse/per and even vi/vim (sometimes used among users of the Vim text editor.
