OP is right to point out that because of the people Isborn mentions there's a new semantic confusion.

^ I've never heard this myself, but if that's a popular solution, why fight it? It's not so different from (after centuries of

Ms. was introduced. I imagine that
ze/zer is mainly for conversational purposes at the moment. My guess is that in medical documents, etc, people are still writing out
he/she when the need arises.
