Hasn’t Facebook already done this? Its announcements are full of singular “they”s, even when referring to specific Facebook users, whose gender it already knows because this is specified in their profiles, for example this which I received recently:

[A male Facebook user] accepted your friend request. Since they’re new to Facebook, you should suggest people they know.

For certain a Facebook and Twitter generation used to reading things like this will have no problem with TNIV’s rather occasional singular “they”s.

But first we have to get rid of the hypocrisy of guys like Piper, Grudem, and Dobson.

Yeah, this is a nice historical tidbit.
