Is this level of pedantry really necessary? According to Wikipedia, the name is generally given to males.

Against the rules I guess, but thank you.

I don't care if Satoshi is he/she/it (well the "it" case could be interesting) but having to add " or she " to every sentence sounds tiring.

Or "they" which has a good probability (at least, much better than 'it')

Then phrase it another way, without the pronoun. The whole point of this discussion is that we don't know who Satoshi is/are, so don't bake assumptions into your thoughts and writing on the topic.

It's not pedantry - it's helping yourself think clearly.

Care to make a wager? I'll lay 2:1.

Are you assuming it is one single person behind the pseudonym?
