Logically there is one pronoun for both he and she; for example, hän in Finnish. As a result, logic of language expressing gender is strange for Finnish speakers. This causes Finnish people often mix, for instance, she/he and actor/actress when they try to speak English. For them hän is always correct and neutral!

In the past, I have assumed you used "he".
Would you like us to use "they" as your pronoun?

For example:

Juha said that he is going to Mexico.
Or
Juha said that they are going to Mexico.

If you don't have a preferred pronoun, that's also ok.
