They/them -

The singular "they" is not a new invention. It has been used in English for centuries, appearing in the works of literary giants like Geoffrey Chaucer and William Shakespeare .

It was only in the 18th century that grammarians began pushing for "he or she" constructions, which many now find clunky and exclusive. Why It Matters
