      Them and they have been used to neutrally refer to a single person for a really long time.
      “But to expose the former faults of any person, without knowing what their present feelings were, seemed unjustifiable.” -Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (1813)
      “A person can’t help their birth.” -William Thackeray, Vanity Fair (1848)
      “So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.” -King James Bible, Matthew 18:35 (transl. 1611)
      “If … a psalme scape any person, or a lesson, or els yt they omyt one verse or twayne…” -William Bonde, The Pylgrimage of Perfection (1526)
      “And whoso fyndeth hym out of swich blame, / They wol come up and offre a Goddés name” -Geoffrey Chaucer, The Pardoner’s Tale (~1380)
      “þan hastely hiȝed eche wiȝt on hors & on fote, / huntyng wiȝt houndes alle heie wodes, / til þei neyȝþed so neiȝh to nymphe þe soþe [Then hastily hied each person on horse and on foot / hunting with hounds all the high woods / ‘til they came so near, to tell the truth]” -William and the Werwolf (transl. ~1350-1375)
      “Bath ware made sun and mon, / Aiþer wit þer ouen light [Both were made sun and moon / Either with their own light]” -Cursor Mundi (~1325)
      Don't let that get in the way of your clearly fragile feelings though.
