pronoun

This is just a case where the pronoun just doesn't give enough information to keep people from being confused.

People often use pronouns other than the ones someone prefers for a variety of reasons: sometimes the preferred pronoun is new, sometimes people forget, sometimes people don't respect that person's preferred pronoun.

Sometimes a pronoun refers to a wrong antecedent.

This problem usually occurs because the wrong antecedent comes between the pronoun and the real antecedent.

As mentioned below in the thread, using a gender neutral pronoun may serve as an in-between.

You're probably demonstrating this on purpose: your very first sentence is itself an example of dropping a pronoun + verb.

Which is a great sentence, because semantically the pronoun referent is obligatorily female and singular.

One can also go even more Chinese-like and drop the subject pronoun in this context.

It is common sense that the antecedent of a pronoun defaults to the closest noun.

To correct this error, place the pronoun as close to its antecedent as possible.

Queen Elizabeth, for instance, might put her preferred pronoun as 'we', but you'd still write about her.

Are you sure that doesn't just refer to a preference for using 'they/them' as opposed to 'him' when it's a generic singular pronoun?

It's unlikely that they meant "preferred pronoun" to be about a singular person generally, since it commonly refers to preferences about oneself.

In case you're not a native speaker, the pronoun one uses in English is "one".

As James Taranto likes to note, "some people" in journalism is a first person pronoun.
