Why not just use "they" singular? It's quick, simple, elegant and soon becomes automatic so you can do it without thinking
True. I think the idea of gendered pronouns is redundant really, no real reason for a man to be "he" or a woman to be "she".

I see what you’re saying but it can serve a purpose in that it can help specify quickly and conveniently.

Say you’re talking about a guy in a group with 3 girls - say “him over there” and it’s immediately obvious who you mean.

I'm very happy to be a "he". It's part of my identity and I wouldn't want to lose it. But I always use "they" when gender unknown/irrelevant
