He/she?
7-yr old?
WTF???
The article stated that the police didn’t provide the child’s gender. It’s not a transgender thing. : )
Usually, I write s/he, when I need to do write without choosing a gender.
Now if you want weirdness, I just saw an ad that used he/she/zi (for people who do not identify as M/F). That was a WTF moment. : )
