请问指代the author/arguer只是用he行吗？还是要用he or she?

就好像下面这个句子：

In the first place, the arguer asserts that the citrus growers is responsible for the upsurge of the price, while he cannot rule out the possibility of other factors.

我大多数时候都直接用the arguer，但在同一句中，用he还是用he or she呢？

还有一个问题：大家说用author还是arguer好啊？孙远说全部都应用arguer，但是说起来好像不顺口，而且用了arguer就好像封杀了argue这个单词一样

1. Try this work around:

the arguer asserts that the citrus growers is responsible for the upsurge of the price, without ruling out the possibility of other factors.

2. There are a lot more options for "argue", such as assert, claim, contend, maintain, and etc.

我还是那句话，改写句子回避这个问题。

这其实是个历史文化的差异。以前都是用he的，后来女权运动兴起, 要用he and she. 又后来，有人问为什么不是she and he? 最后，大家也不说he and she或者she and he了，直接说she.

但是如果你写AA的时候，总是说she哪里哪里逻辑不通了，我觉得不太好。

另外, 一般arguer只在第一段出现，用于复述题意。接下来可以用argument, statement来代替，毕竟我们支持或批驳的是观点.
