Gender Neutral Writing

[rthorm@cornellbox.com]

Question:  
Stylistically, how best should gender neutral writing be accomplished?

  At the time it was written, it was probably OK for SPI to write everything
with masculine pronouns and then say that girls could play, too.  But I'd like
to be a bit more contemporary and enlightened than that.  

  As much as possible, I have tried to avoid using gendered pronouns, but
sometimes it is just too awkward to do so.  To that end, I've written this
section using she/her/hers.  We can switch between 'he' and 'she' in
alternating sections, as one possibility.

  But does anyone have a better idea?
