Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Avoid gender pronouns
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2021 15:28:17 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210611202819.47077-1-felipe.contreras@gmail.com> (raw)
The latest solution looking for a problem [1] is to use the actively
debated among linguists singular "they" [2].
Leaving aside the linguistic intricacies that not all singular "they" are
equal [3], and the overwhelming sentiment that these kinds of political
discussions don't provide value for this community [4], the "issue" can
be easily solved by simply using different wording.
- The reviewer herself
+ The reviewers themselves
Problem solved.
Cheers.
