And you completely miss the point where it's much harder to comprehend what people are talking about. Had it said "he/him" it would have been 100% clear without a doubt immediately, and it would have insulted NOBODY.

Nobody was insulted by him/her since forever, now we can't use that anymore because somehow it's exclusionary, insulting or "assuming the obvious gender"

Why do you care so much what words people use? How did words hurt you? Can you show us on the doll?
