It's not that contrived to have two subjects in a sentence be a single person and a group of people. I have personally been in situations where someone was confused about the use of the singular them. Obviously it's possible to understand in most circumstances, but why not make it easier? Especially when it's a simple solution that also stops most of the misgendering people experience.
