They're a work-from-home call center rep. It pays well because they're multi-lingual. Never been in an office or even seen their supervisor except via video call. They tried for a religious exemption but was auto-denied because "they didn't express a sincere belief," and there's no appeal. It's get the vax or get fired with prejudice.

They don't see anyone other than their own family. No office even exists.

Has anyone else experienced this yet, and what did you do?

They is used in this sense to refer to a singular person of unidentified gender, which has been in the language since sometime in the 14th century.

I used it because their sex is unimportant to the story, and of no concern to you.

You can't tell if your friend has a dick or not?

I know perfectly well what they have. Why are you so worried about it?

singular person of unidentified gender

Since the sex of the person has been determined, you can now proceed to use the correct pronoun.
