The alternative would be to say “they” and that in turn would imply I’m a woman. I am ESL and yet seems like I have better mastery over your language than you do. Maybe it only “heavily implies” it to you because you haven’t actually read much beyond reddit posts, but literature uses it all the time (e.g. see any political speech where a person is criticizing their own country, they use ‘we’, like bernie sanders complaining how ‘we’ have the highest drug prices in the world)

Study your own language a bit more ;) Q.E.D.
