genderless pronouns - 3rd person singular (he or she)


I see sentences with (he or she) like :



How to know if he or she is the best one for you?


Give a Person Power and He or She Will Show Interpersonal Sensitivity.



It's possible to use just one word instead of (he or she), something like :




Give a Person Power and He Will Show Interpersonal Sensitivity

"Give a Person Power and They Will Show Interpersonal Sensitivity"


"They" being specifically gender neutral.
