What if the peering team member is a she?
Then it's probably a good thing that the English language has no gender-neutral third person singular pronoun appropriate for referencing a human being. Conventionally, the otherwise male pronoun "he" is used to refer to any individual whose gender is not known to the speaker. It offers no insult unless the recipient is looking for an excuse. The "what if he's a she" crack was stale when I was still in diapers and the pedantic follow on discussion about what the gender neutral pronoun should be is just as tedious.
