Instead of "s/he is" you can say "they are", even though it's singular. "They" is the preferred pronoun for any situation where gender is unclear or (usually, but not always) for non binary people.

Oh sorry I brutaly translated this from French where we say" iel " (contraction of "Elle" and "il" our feminine and masculine pronoun). I already saw they but I didn't thought about it.

It's all good! The fact that you want to be inclusive is great. They have a contraction for nonbinary pronouns in french? that's awesome.

Well, it's a neopronoun, so while it's popular enough for most people to understand what it means, in my experience "iel" sadly gets a lot of pushback ("oh but we don't do that in French" etc.) which means it's rarely used in contexts other than to refer to non-binary people who have expressed a preference for "iel".

Yeah that sounds familiar
