S?he probably listened to the keyup event instead.
/S?he|\w+kin|.*/
On a serious note, I was looking for that word, but failed to remember it[0].
You could listen for the keydown, but you wouldn't hear it, so you may as well ignore what you can't hear.
- I did not click through to their profile.
The cause for both of these is that my mobile HN experience is horrible for me (a lazy person).
I spent a few seconds looking for a word to replace "She/He", when none came to mind I fell back to a regular expression[1]. As iaml pointed out[2] (along with others) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they is the proper solution to this issue, and I will try to remember that in the future.

In my second attempt at comedy today, Trying to perform the error-prone art of interpreting genders based on usernames, the best I came up with for you is
/^\0_$/
I'll explain the joke, so that no-one feels left out: I interpret name "Void" as gender "null", then carry the underscore over, using artistic license, to make the regex more interesting.
