I have no problem using whatever pronouns people want, but when they start using a plural pronoun to refer to a singular human being, I agree -- that's shitty grammar.


Zhe is really hard to beat. And as you said, no bad grammar

It could be confused with a Chinese name.

And it seems to make little phonetic sense in English construction. Ze would seem to be a superior choice as a subject. And having both both Zhim and Zher--or choosing either or an object noun--would defeat the purpose of gender neutrality.
