Speaking as someone for whom pronouns are a serious issue, go with they/theirs/them. Anything else looks forced.

Semi random question about pronouns. I'm in the process of doing a weapon and vehicle book. For Reasons, I don't want to use the English generic "he/him/his".

I have, at this point what I think are two primary options.
1) use she/her/hers (which given that lead example character is a female human makes some sense) or
use Spivak LambdaMOO pronouns. This does have the force of history behind it, given it was made for gaming with. Any thoughts?
