Typically in legalese like this, “he” isn’t denoting only people who use that pronoun, it’s understood to apply to all people.

Yeah but it's an interesting defense. There are laws that only apply to women, aren't there? And they dont' use "he". You'd lose, but it'd be an interesting case.

And the definitions section was too long to paste in, but you can get there from the link in the article.
