I HATE gender-neutral pronouns. In refuse to use "zie" and "zir" -- I use "them" and "they" if for no other reason than I can keep them straight. And if it was good enough for Jane Austen, it's good enough for me.
I never use "zie" or "zir". I find them weird-looking and distracting, and therefore an impediment to communication. But I don't like using "they" and "them" either when it will be ungrammatical. Probably I'd opt for "one" in that case, even though it sounds overly formal, or "the person" (or some other descriptive) even though it makes for cumbersome sentences.
My understanding was that "they" and "them" are considered grammatically-correct singular gender-neutral pronouns by many and acceptance is increasing over time due to the lack of an alternative.
