I am just saying that personally it sounds odd to me to use it
that way and I don't hear people use it that way either. In
gender neutral contexts where you don't know the gender I almost
always say/hear they/their. Maybe he losing its gender neutrality
is a recent thing, I don't know. Maybe its just a thing with
mid-westerners?
