    In Dutch, “they” is the same word as “she” (ze/zij), even though the use is different. To resolve this, people who want to use a gender neutral pronoun have switched to using the Accusative “them” (hen), which is even more awkward in sentences.

    Just do what humans have always done: make up a new word. The pushback from assholes will be exactly the same anyway.
