Oj me Flyin’ Dutchman, the usage of “his/her” is still kicking? Welp, the Subjects of Cis people using “his/her” fundamentally comes down to two camps: the first chunk being those ignorant of the inclusion “they” brings along, and the latter, probably bigger, chunk being full of lingual idealists fearing somehow “the Woman”* would be erased by saying “they” instead of “his/her” (because, well this just doesn’t make any sense).
*”the Woman” is usually used here by Cis males to mark the fantasy object, in this case only unto both Cis and trans females, of their desire/lack.
