Kathy was definitely a woman.
Do they just have a computer generating these replies? Kind of depressing. Still--at least I still have hope that Kathy may benefit from having my note in "his" permanent record.
We may have grown to having the female version used. However it's still acceptable to use the male form for both male/female.
