Thereās definitely some additional nuance (like a pronouns in bio/username situation) but this should cover the broad needs of anyone who is approaching this with good faith.

If were going from whats Ā«grammatically well establishedĀ» i would argue he/she is a lot more established
Tbh just saying they is easier, took a few weeks/months to train myself to do it and now Iām just cringing whenever I hear something thatās like āhe or she could be doing this thingā when ātheyā is just more efficient anyway. Theyāre just as established. I think ātheyā is an older term but Iād have to look into the etymology on that.
So Iām not sure how reliable it is given the age of the data but it looks like thereās some indication that ātheyā fell in use up to the late 1900s but before ~1860 it was actually more common than now. Iām now curious if thereās any more info on this.
He/She is fine for when you know the gender of someone. When you donāt they is really well established - it was used by Chaucer. So they if you donāt know because they might go by something else, they for someone with a name like Leslie who could be a he or a she outside of any discussion about trans identities.
