My reflex in cases like this is to resist, but actually, I think it's a well considered suggestion. I'll try it. It won't be easy.
My 23-year-old daughter identifies as queer, and she raises the issue of gender-neutral pronouns. Out of respect for her, I plan to try. Depending on context, I will ask people what pronouns they prefer. Life is full of changes, and we shouldn't resist them categorically.
