Hm. For the sake of accuracy, and at the risk of deviating from the strict
list topics (although it could come under the umbrella of appropriate word
use), perhaps I should have been all-encompassing:
his/her/indeterminate/in-transition.

Makes me thing it's be easier to muddy the pronoun waters--as has been done
here before--and just said "To each their own...."
