I dislike they referring to a particular person, as opposed to the non-specific singular they. "I saw Bob today; they looked good."

... but I see this as a linguistic matter, not one of attempting to insist that everyone must be concretely and binarily gendered.

Yeah. You get a name. You get an identity. You don't get to hack people's language circuits--that's ableist as fuck.
