I’m from Turkey so English isn’t my native language. We just call O in Turkish to no matter its he/she/it. Is there an equivalent of this generic term on English?

I don’t want to call he to a female or vice versa.

    It can feel a little clunky, but I do this all the time when typing online. Particularly on discord or somewhere where I have no idea of a members gender.

    “I first noticed this member join our server a week ago but they have not posted a lot. The few posts that they have made show that they are interested in the game, but I think they are looking for a different experience. I wish them well in their search for a different group.”
