What if Alice has told you their preferred pronouns are they/them? Would you still call them ‘her’ in spite of their wishes?

If Geoff is happy with being called ‘he’, then sure, he went to the match.

I think it only sounds clunky because we’re not so used to it. Imagine a child today being brought up knowing “they” is a perfectly normal individual or group pronoun alongside he and she. In ten years, it won’t sound weird to them (hah) at all.
