The use of the singular they throughout this article to refer to Lee specifically is not appropriate for this article and is grammatically incorrect since it's being used to refer to a specific person. The subject does not control the article and we shouldn't change the conventions of English out of respect for her. We don't use ebonics for articles about subjects who use ebonics. Same principle applies here. If an editor really wants to avoid non-gender-neutral pronouns to refer to Lee specifically, they should reword the sentence to avoid the use of pronouns in general.

I strongly disagree, I feel that singular they is a perfectly legitimate pronoun and that in fact, using the wrong pronoun set by refering to Jiz Lee as "her" and "she" instead of using singular they is no less disrespectful than it would be to refer to a transwoman as "he". In addition to the disrespecfulness, refering to them as "she" is factually incorrect because it suggests they are of a gender which they are in fact not a member of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wormsto ( talk • contribs) 13:40, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
After a search of the Wikipedia Manual of Style there is no concensus on the use of the singular "they" [1], so I have changed the instance of "he" to "they". 124.197.40.136 ( talk) 09:38, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
