   I think “they” is going to inevitably be the winning pronoun. As somebody who cares about both social justice and linguistic rigor, I much prefer it to the group that takes the singular gendered pronouns and adds something like an x or z to them (I’ve seen both). Having a gender-neutral word that represents both singular and plural isn’t all that new, we’ve been using “you” and its declensions that way since “thou” fell out of favor. Unless you live somewhere that uses “y’all”, or I guess “yous guys” down in NYC.
