himself?

@odexed This is an example of the singular they: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

Thanks. I wasn't sure that the sentence was natural since nobody adopted it.

For me, if I wanted the singular "they form", in this case, I'd use "themself."
I feel that some people would feel "themself" wrong, while others would consider "themselves" wrong, so that's why I would avoid the problem by not using either wording.
