I don't disagree that a gender neutral pronoun might not have been a better call, my only beef with OP's argument is that someone was "misgendered" when they absolutely weren't.

Heck, even if it was awkward, the only way to make it less awkward is through continual use. It used to be you'd get chewed out for an "improper" singular use of "they" - now it's perfectly normal and natural under most circumstances. I wouldn't mind a bit if English went to "they" as default pronoun until informed otherwise. It's already heading that way from the looks of it. As it stands right now, though... a whole novel of it could get confusing and tiresome, as you'd be constantly wondering if it was intended as singular or plural.

I hadn't considered that. True, different "they"s might get confusing, though it probably depends on the context. I think using they as a neutral pronoun feels pretty natural, but that's probably because English is not my native language.
