I'm aware that singular they is attested all the way back to the 16th century, but it still doesn't read right to me. Particularly in the case where the pronoun definitely refers to one person, albeit of unknown gender, rather than where it could refer to either a singular or plural antecedent. I'd actually prefer the awkward 'he or she'.
De gustibus non est disputandum, but to claim that preference for the generic he, or even the kind of indifference that could lead one to reject such a patch as a waste of time, can only come from a deep wellspring of misogyny, is absurd.
