It's so progressive of these people to boycott third-person pronouns to avoid misgendering. Clark went to the store. Clark wanted fruit; Clark got some peaches, because Clark thought the peaches looked good. Truly the language of the future where everyone has a unique neopronoun.
Oooh, wait, he/she only wants male and female third-person singular pronouns (potentially "they/them" too since the reactionaries have all but lost that battle they started, although I'm sure some of them do really want to go back to assuming male or excruciatingly writing out/pronouncing "he/she"). I get it.
