==Kate Carney (cont)== 
 I disagree with your interpretation. Suggest that an administrator address this change.  I am worried that this policy be used on too many unnecessary cases, but have no desire to get involved in a conflict. 
 The guide states "or to wording about one-gender contexts, " with no limit to type of contexts and no suggestion of groups only..  Kate Carney, the subject of the text, is female and is not gender neutral.  Your interpretation of the rule is too narrow. The exception is not only for groups but for singular persons as well.  Otherwise the statement  "Tessie O'Shea is a large woman" would be changed and become false as "persons" would include men, and she was not large compared to men OR there could be no "Best Supporting Actress" at the Oscars:   to give over-simple examples.
