Regardless, lets not erase people by using pronouns that greatly favor 
in specificity one set of people over another. When we are not speaking 
about specific people.

"they" is a great way to be inclusive, and generally speaking not offend 
anyone :)

Everyone is welcome here, if their goal is to use D. Lets not push 
people away over wanting to hold on to language that favors one portion 
of the population over another.
