Thanks for your comment and for the information. I definitely agree with your point that the singular "they" is, at this point in time, as correct or more correct than the neuter "he".

I also totally agree with your point about humoring people who actually care passionately about this — that's precisely my issue with this whole debacle. I wasn't taking the position that "he" is the only correct option, and other phrasings must be attacked. Rather, that the entire matter is a bikeshed, and that people should not assume that just because someone used "he" as neuter that he (see what I did there?) is sexist.
