See this is why I like the idea of they/them pronouns.
What gender am I? What if I don't feel safe asking for female pronouns? What if I'm agender? What if I'm a plural system? Do I actually need a potentially personal chunk of identity defined every time I get groceries or buy coffee?
They/them for everyone as a nice formality - a little like referring to everyone as -san or tovarisch - sidesteps issues.
