From conversations with a child who prefers not to be identified by
gender and who also studied lingustics, I suspect that just as all the
rules I learned about when to use "me" and "I" seem to be ignored when
"and" is used ("John and me will be using the tickets given to Nancy and
I") that "they, them, their(s)" will soon be treated as the singular
forms for persons.
It won't be a rule; as they say, to each their own.
