I usually start off with a gender neutral noun like “person”, but then commit to male pronouns until I theorize another “person”, when I often, if appropriate, switch to female pronouns for that part. Is it acceptable to switch pronoun genders when referring to a single person? Using s/he seems forced and weird.J Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582201615969672193noreply@blogger.com
