[Koha-devel] Gender-neutral pronouns

I imagine there are a number of ways we could re-word it. I don’t fully understand the test out of context, but I suspect maybe something like “The borrower has changed category from kid to juvenile. They should pay X + Y.”.

Tossing P.C. aside, is the syntax in ”Kid
growing and becoming a juvenile, that kid must pay"?" acceptable? 

Wouldn't "Should a kid start paying on becoming an adult?" (or something among these lines) be preferable?

Well, folks remain free to set their personal priorities in how they
choose to contribute to Koha. Trying to be more inclusive by measuring
our words more carefully does not preclude working on bugs or updating
the wiki... and may also result in more potential contributors
deciding to stick around and pitch in.
