I was being ironic...

Variation is good for language. Artificial constraints like 
"gender neutral terms" harm expression. It is not a reasonable 
policy making arena in non-official contexts. But even then the 
best option is to vary, sometimes use "she", sometimes "he", 
sometimes "thin", sometimes "fat", sometimes "black", sometimes 
"white", etc...

But the real point is _culture_. Most people are happy they make 
themselves understood in a foreign language.
