A better third-person gender neutral pronoun?

Earlier today I was reading an article about Ezra Miller which made it clear that calling someone "they" can be grammatically and referentially confusing in some contexts, inasmuch as the person referred to is singular rather than plural, grammatically speaking.

(No, Walt Whitman, no, just no. Please stay out of this.)

So, what could we propose as an alternative for American English? Do the people of the Anglophonic Dominion have any suggestions?

People have the right to make demands, but not the right to have all of their demands met.

In your life, do people acknowledge you in the way you want to be acknowledged?

If someone behaves disrespectfully toward you, what do you do?

If someone disrespects me I walk away. Who cares?

I guess the word "deliberate" escaped you.

Deliberate misgendering would be akin to harassment, which people are already protected from in the workplace.

I think something other than "it" would be better when referring to a human.

Maybe tey/tem/teir ?

Have you seen the film The Shawshank Redemption? Just wondering, whether it is an accurate representation of life behind bars, or just Hollywood fantasy.

I've heard State prisons can be like that and I am sure they were definitely like that in the 1930's and 1940's.

I was in the Federal system which is not like the "movies"

@AThousandYoung

He didn't explain the difference between movies and real prison life.
He just talked about the movie Shawshank Redemption.
