'''They''' is a pronoun that is most commonly used as the plural of "he" and/or "she".

This has become more pronounced in recent times<sup>[[citation needed]]</sup>, with the feminist movement desiring the use of the singular "they" in place of "he" or "she" when gender is unspecified, with the aim of ending perceived bias<sup>citation needed</sup>. [[Conservatives]] view this as a [[politically correct]] alternative pushed by [[liberals]]<sup>citation needed</sup>, which is often redundant as "he" has traditionally been used to refer to both men and women<sup>citation needed</sup>.
