I see. I guess I still use "he/she" instead, because I feel like I ought to use a singular pronoun, but that does obviously indicate an obsolete binary. I understand that it's "becoming accepted in certain cases of formal writing," I suppose I'm just resistant because it seems like technically it should be incorrect. I see where the problem is though. We lack a truly appropriate pronoun.
