My mistake - I should have said what happened to "them" since I did not know anything about their gender.

I've noticed people on MSE often use them/they even in cases where name is obviously male or female.

Safety first in case you upset someone. Alex can be male or female (not getting into the world of non-binary etc because I don't know the facts). If I don't know someone's preferred gender, I would just use they/them
