Not trying to be "helpful" or antagonistic, I just don't understand why, if Sparrow's gender is known and constant, a sentence about Sparrow would not be written with specificity in the gender pronouns. I see the value of use of gender-neutral pronouns, but only in cases where the gender in question is unknown/flexible/non-constant.
