"They" used as a gender neutral pronoun is often incorrect grammar

For example: "That person needs to shut their mouth"

is incorrect

strictly speaking, sure
but just like the word "literally" being used as an intensifier, language evolves

both examples here have been used since before we were born with their alternative function, so not really a good argument
