What is the point of this comment? Even if you had some way to know (EDIT: which you (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12506075) point out is the case), why should it matter, especially since no-one else in this thread seems to have brought up gender?

Using “them” when you already clearly know the gender is bad style stemming from political-correctness zealots.
