You objectively are, and in the choice of who to care about that means I have absolutely no interest in catering to people upset that others are included.

There’s no difference objectively between generic he and generic they. Both cover everyone. You just prefer one to the other. That’s fine, so do I.

There is an objective difference between generic he and generic they: In many contexts you can not tell whether the "he" was intended to be generic or not.
