When a person's gender is unknown or they use gender-neutral pronouns, the best practice is to use they/them/their pronouns for that individual. Using the singular "they" is grammatically correct and a respectful, inclusive practice that avoids assumptions about gender. You can also refer to the person by their name or rephrase the sentence to avoid using a pronoun altogether.
