Whose gender would such a construct even refer to anyway? The user viewing the
message, or the user the message is about? I'm guessing in most cases it would
be the second but both might be needed in different messages.
In any case for lots of reasons I really don't think we want to get into
storing a user's gender so I'd say any attempts to do this are just translation
bugs that should be fixed - the most we should do here is add a test to detect
attempts to do this.
I thought most languages had some conventions about writing messages referring
to a person of indeterminate gender? I know German has issues that often leads
to craziness - does that extend to many other languages?
