Part of the reason this conversation has split off is because what is called for is not a genderless pronoun but rather, an inclusive one that can refer to all genders. I'm perfectly happy with "they".
The sub-convo going on is a different subject altogether - there is a difference between trying to refer to many possible subjects that may be any gender (as in the OP's writing) and trying to refer to a specific individual whose gender is unknown. The latter case is really not that complicated - it's often clear as to with which gender a person identifies.
