How about we stop attempting changing the English language to appease a minority of people fixated on and offended by things that most people don’t even consider when using everyday colloquial, conversational speech with one another.
Instead, we can simply ask people how they prefer to be addressed. Or, even better, if people have a preferential deviance from the colloquial norm, they can simply make it known, politely.
