And don’t use the plural personal pronoun “they” when referring to a single individual, who is either a he or a she.

If you do not know what their sex is, they makes sense.

Perhaps the use of “her or she” would be better than they, when the sex is unknown.

If they don't want *He* or *she*, you could always suggest *it* and watch the meltdown.
