     As a native USA English speaker, I think this usage is fine, and widely
     accepted by speakers, at least in this country. There are some cases
     where it sounds a little clunky, but we don't have other words for this
     use case that enjoy wider common usage.

I am glad that at least one person can express a point of view  and be polite 
about
it at the same time.   If you think it is fine, then it is your right to use it.

I find it confusing and clunky in most cases, and I refuse to use it.    I also
reserve the right, when others advocate its use, to present my own point of 
view.

If anyone chooses  to  interpret that as rude, sexist, intolerant or whatever - 
then
that is their problem and not mine.  They will have to get over it.
