I informally object. I agree that we should use e/em as the generic
third-person singular pronoun (as we have been doing for decades), but when
rules refer to specific individuals (which is uncommon but not all *that*
rare), there's no reason at all to proscribe using "they" for a particular
individual if that's the pronoun that they prefer to use in such contexts.
