::Uh, I don't know what "the use of the female pronoun is generally accepted as the standard" means. "generally accepted"? By who? Someone's since changed the article to not use either he or she, and to me using "he" just seems more obvious to me. Not that it's related at all, but we don't all "start as female".

:::I went ahead and made the article gender-neutral. "She" is the politically correct option at times when either "he" or "she" would suffice, but I figured that gender neutrality would be the best way to avoid people getting offended one way or the other. RE starting as female: During the development of the human embryo, we all do start with a female body plan that is later modified by androgen hormones. In some people, the receptors don't work. That's why we have XY women who look perfectly feminine running around. That's what I meant by us all starting as women.
