Actually, I think that about sums it up. No new conflicting information has come up since the last discussions we've had. New evidence only reinforces the approach we had agreed upon.

My above posts summarise relevant grammar, policy, and precedent.

Opposing arguments are built on a false notion that we "made up" singular they/them pronouns, when it has been clearly established this is far from the case. Concerns about confusing sentence structure have been addressed: change your wording, when needed, to clarify.

Nothing new has been brought forward to justify changing our approach, and I do find it is the best approach, accurately describing what the narrative has given us, taking all variables into account. Titan Comics seem to be the ones on top of this, too, so I'd be curious to have a look again at what they'll be doing in-story with pronouns as time goes on.

So I'm closing the thread, in favour of continuing to use neutral pronouns. If properly new information comes into play in the future, we can always revisit these issues. Thank you all for taking the time to investigate. We stand on even firmer ground now.
