I could be wrong, but I think it originally started to avoid misgendering, and others followed suit to show solidarity.

at my job, most of the professors and a lot of the administrators and staff have it in their email signatures.

Yes but, why put both? Do some people use one for somethings and the other for others?

I guess my question is, why not just put "He", "She" or something else?

Do they say, "Him/Her," or, "player," or, "their," on them?

I saw one recruiter on LinkedIn do that. She makes racist posts pretty much every day.

It's really nothing to look in to, it's not trying to be exclusive, sexist, something-phobic, etc.

It's to take away ambiguity. By keeping it consistent throughout the manual 'he' always means the same thing.

Examples will often use two players an Alice and a Bob, he and she, so again, it is clear what each person is doing and affected by, thanks to the separation of the pronoun.

Yes, you could just say The Player constantly and a lot are worded that way now. But the use of He is nothing more than a way to keep a consistent idea in the reader's head as to whom is being talked about.


No, they say things like his hand when it can be easily be their hand.
