No disagreement. Except I am accustomed to thinking ahead and never have to use nor circumvent gender-specific construction. People are always challenging me with examples:

Challenge: "Someone left their wallet here. I hope they come back and get it"

My response: "I hope whoever left that wallet here comes back for it."

Mine is shorter, clearer, and doesn't mix singular and plural.
