2. Stop using sexist "he/she" pronouns when describing persons who could be genderfluid. Until Bungie explicitly specifies their preferred pronouns (i.e. not inferred from other characters in-game since they could be making the same mistake you are) you should use acceptable gender-neutral ones instead.

There exists no singular gender neutral pronoun in the english language. It's literally impossible to refer to one person without assigning gender. Technically, to be grammatically correct you are supposed to use 'he' if you do not know.
