"I know people use things like "they" online, but it's not exactly grammatically correct to use a plural pronoun to refer to a single person"

Actually, it not being grammatically correct is something made up by 18th century prescriptivists. Before that, even classics like Shakespeare or Chaucer used singular "they" on occasion. It's not new, it's just making a comeback.
