True. I know that.
Actually, in formal writing it's supposed to be "his or her", not just "his". (With the growing LGBTQA community, I'm not sure that will do either.)
But then again... I'm not writing formal essays or reports here. If we did, we need to have proper titles, thesis statements, transitions, summary, and on and on. But I write as I speak. For years, I spent time making sure that my posts were grammatically correct (even made sure "his or her" was there in the right places), but dang... did anyone care or notice? Nope. So now, I write whatever comes to my mind at the moment of writing.
I was just being a jerk.
Actually, the plural (because of gender neutrality) is just fine.....with me anyway.

Having the inner grammar nazi coming out before the morning coffee. I hear ya'.
On a side note, I learned recently that they added the Q and A to it. LGBT... Next, I think we need to add S for straight, C for child, D for dogs, and M for martians. Or just simply, do the whole alphabet and be done with it. The LGBTAQSCDMZEHOPUNJW... community, i.e. person. (Can't say hu-man either I think.)
I say we just call'm "SA" (sexually abnormal).
It has advantages.....
- People will scream objection.
- It won't have to be modified as new abnormal conditions are recognized.
- It's easy to remember.

Hmm... If we can figure out an 'X' at the end of it, then we get "SAX". Sax are sexy, so we can call them saxy without the fear of sending the wrong signals. Just thinking loud...

Good point. X stands for nothing and anything. Anything anyone wants it to be. Perfect.
And it's edgy.....makes me think of X-Men.

Unfortunately, we can't say X-men. Sexists and saxist.
Maybe we can form words like "hu-sax" instead of "hu-man"?
"X-People" then.
But if superhero dolphins, whales or apes arise, then "X-Beings".

And then self-conscious robots, X-things. Or Sax-things even. Saxing? Too close to sexting maybe.
I actually already considered that possibility, & allowed for sentient non-biological life forms.
(I've consumed too much sci fi.)

Impossible! You can't over-consume on sci-fi.
