MakaylaJ:

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.

CecePitbull:

uhm thats ai! but anyway. they is the most respectful. since its not respectful to refer to one as it, because people arent objects. ect. but they is most respectful. if thats wrong its very interesting.
