The singular they well predates the genderless he, which gained popularity largely due to the efforts of the grammarian Ann Fisher in the 18th century . I see no reason to object to a shift back in the other direction.

I understood desrtopa as referring to a reversal of the shift from singular they to genderless he… that is, as advocating ‘they’.
That was it.
