“I do not care for what someone’s “self-identified pronoun” is. A person is either male or female according to his biology.”

I totally agree...but “they” is still a long accepted singular pronoun. (Where this train wreck started)

...and that’s all I have to say.

Someone left their phone in the restroom, tell them when they come back where they can find it.

Singular

A generic “they” may have been accepted by some for a hypothetical statement but not when referring to a known individual. It is inappropriate in the context of the article. And if it is OK for some to advocate its usage, it is also OK for others to oppose it.
