They

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

Throughout history the word has been used to refer to the plural form of he/she, but also in a singular form when gender is either unknown or unspecified. This has become more pronounced in recent times^{citation needed}, 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^{citation needed}. Conservatives view this as a politically correct alternative pushed by liberals^{citation needed}, which is often redundant as "he" has traditionally been used to refer to both men and women^{citation needed}.
