Back in about 1970, there was a movement to replace all pronouns with one pronoun for both genders, subjective and objective, and singular and plural. That pronoun was “co”. I thought it was a ridiculous idea, and it went nowhere. With the current confusing array of pronouns, I’m reconsidering.

There's a perfectly good pronoun to use for anyone confused about he/she: "it."
