Cool idea (okay I think it's cool): When you need to use a generic pronoun, defer to your own gender (of identity). "If a person wants to succeed at poly, he should brush up on his communication skills," is what I'd write, since I identify as a male. Someone who identified as a female would write, "If a person wants to succeed at poly, she should brush up on her communication skills." What a genderfluid person would write might depend on what gender s/he felt like identifying as at the given moment.
So what do y'all think of my great idea?
I know, it wouldn't always work, and then you could use "sie" or "they" or whatever. But whenever you could use it, it would be quick, handy, and obvious, and while the gender of the generic person you were writing about wouldn't be identified per se, the gender of the author (i.e. you) would be denoted by your choice of pronoun.
If
*everyone* tended to defer to that rule of thumb, it'd tend to be simple, easy, and equitable. Amirite?
[shrug] Sigh, ah well, sounded like a good idea. (I'll do it if everyone else does.
