Sexist
My earlier definition of a sexist: one referring to a human being as 'he' or 'she' exclusively.
A colleague and a good friend of mine highlighted something interesting. During a conversation I tried correcting him and he responded with a witty one that startled me.
Czar: Dude! Don't use 'he'. That makes you a sexist. Use 'he/she'.
Colleague: That would be also be sexist dude. I would have to use 'she/he'. The order is important.
So much for politically correct statements.

I would just say 'it'. People (especially women) are being objectified anyway.
