I see this happen on the forum a lot and it makes me cringe every time. When you're referring to someone on here and you're trying to not assume their gender, please don't use he/she or (s)he. Lumping all people into either he or she leaves out anyone who doesn't use those pronouns, particularly non-binary people who use they/them or other non-binary pronouns. The easiest and largely accepted default is just using they/them/their when you don't know someone's gender. Like "When I first read their post I thought they were trolling, but I'm willing to give them another chance"
I know no one means any harm by it, but it gets old seeing it happen so often.
