You are literally saying that 'she' isn't welcome. And having 'she' everywhere is no more disingenuous than having 'he' everywhere. Neither one covers everybody, and just defaulting to the majority has a ton of problems. Even more problematic is when people feel the need to shout it down when they see minority representation. Why did you feel the need to stamp this out instead of responding to the actual content of the post?

In a lot of the US, 'you guys' is standard plural you regardless of gender, but we don't have a gender neutral pronoun other than "they" which only works some of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

But in this case it would have worked fine: "a software engineer has thought about user registration and authentication. Hopefully they have thought a lot about it."

Let's push for the expanded use of "they" as gender neutral singular rather than pushing "she" down.

i think it sounds odd given what I know about the demographics. Almost as if the problem is perception, not real numbers. So i agree with you for sure. I'm not against it, I just think "she" started getting wodespread use after the demographics issue came to a head earlier in the year.

edit:

> you are literally saying she isn't welcome

If I literally said that, qoute me...
