(You did not alternate, you used masculine form twice - or is
alternation done at a higher level?)

I don't like "they" as a general drop-in for singular third person
either (although some uses of singular "they" are fine with me).
In written text I prefer "s/he" (or "ze", I love "ze" ^_^) and "hir".
I also like convoluted sentence structures in order to avoid pronouns.

I suspect this is quite a bit off topic... Sorry.
