    Except he/she aren’t words used to describe a person’s body, so what is your point?

      Sure it is. When referring to a man’s penis you would say “his penis”.

      On a related note, can you catch stupid over the Internet?

        But if a woman has a penis then it’s her penis. Medically the penis is the important part, so you can still use “they” in a situation where you’d use “his/her”, both to be a smoother sentence and also to be inclusive of non-binary people.
