Er, the only suggestion I can offer here is the only one that I use for
myself personally, when confronted with a gender-specific pronoun used in
an impersonal sense.

I just don't wrap so much of my self image up in what someone else
impersonally used as a pronoun when writing a manual.  And I save my anger
for those who MEANT to insult me.
