There are a lot of opposition-worthy linguistic acrobatics within that space, but default they/them is none of them.
It works perfectly. It is inoffensive, a drop-in-replacement, doesn't elongate sentences or any other such negative side effects.
It's real known words not just freshly invented. And it's even semantically correct.
The they/them swap is the most elegant implementation I am aware of.
It won’t mind.
Useful!
