I'm CIS straight male, so I recognise my ignorance. That said: gender & sex are different. Gender is behaviour, Sex is biological. Behaviour is fluid so so is gender. I don't know if 'they' is how you address the behavioural assumptions created by 'he' & 'she' but it's something.

Thank you. How do we avoid that without awkwardness?

If you ever unsure simply ask. Also if someone corrects you simply start using the right ones.

There are 2 aspects of "they":
1) The context I was referring to, i.e. a way to avoid gendering assumptions in society.
2) How any INDIVIDUAL chooses to self-identify which is NONE of my concern.
