Remove references to gender #262

drewnoakes · 2019-11-26T02:54:54Z

This PR:

removes assumptions of gender where it is unknown or irrelevant
recognises non-binary gender

In many instances this is achieved through the use of the singular they pronoun and related forms.

 If you need to coordinate with unmanaged code, or if you need to do WaitForMultipleHandles ANY/ALL, you will have to avoid WszCreateEvent. If you really know what you are doing, go directly to the OS to obtain these handles. Everyone else should seek advice from someone who thoroughly understands the implications to our host. Obviously the general rule is that everyone should go through our hosted abstraction.
