They/them has been used in place of the pronoun it since well before Shakespeare's time. they and them were borrowed from old Danish, if I recall. I think the original Anglo-Saxon 3rd person plurals were hie/him.
The most irritating read for me was "Drawing Down the Moon" by Margot Adler. Her authorial voice was so disagreeable. It was a DNF. A shame too because the subject, neo-paganism, is an interesting one.
