Bug Description

bug: Having gendered language in documentation reinforces the exclusion of women and non-cis folks from participating in the project.

I was reading through some documentation to diagnose some issues with multistores and came across these.

I've included some proposed alternatives as well.

doc/source/glossary.rst|929 col 42|
- used to verify that the user is who *he* says he is.
+ used to verify that the user is who they say they are.

doc/source/contributor/domain_model.rst|28 col 8|

- because *he* does not know what layers are used and works with a domain
+ because they do not know what layers are used and works with a domain

doc/source/admin/multistores.rst|169 col 33|

- ``CONF.enabled_backeds`` then *he* needs to remove reserved
+ ``CONF.enabled_backeds`` then they need to remove reserved
