Replace pronouns with gender neutral ones #1290

Closed ghalse closed 3 years ago

Given global awareness around gender binary, it seems apposite to replace gendered pronouns with gender-neutral ones.

The use of the possessive form of singular they in place of his/her is comparable to the use by Facebook, Google and others. It seems correct in this context given we don't know the preferred pronouns or gender identity of the target of the messages.

Nice improvement. Thanks @ghalse appreciated.
