If both sentences are true, how can we justify them? Can we use singular pronoun for referring to "everyone"?

I bet everyone regardless of genders can find at least one item [they love].

I bet everyone regardless of genders can find at least one item [he/she loves].

I appreciate your participation, but I wonder if these two sentences are grammatically correct? and if they are, how can we justify using singular pronoun for referring to subject "everyone"? – Shahab Dec 01 '19 at 08:02
Oof. So topical with regard to the site. But, duplicate question. – BadZen Dec 16 '19 at 18:34
