My complaint is not with writing his/her, but rather the deliberate reversing of it to "her/his" by this author in order to specifically put the female pronoun first. That seems to be an attempt to push a feminist agenda through the language used in the NFHS play rulings, which strikes me as petty and inappropriate.

This is the time I would like to insert the meme from "Swaggy P" with the "What???" look in order to show my reaction to this post.
