As for unbiased, the only thing I could vaguely think of is if she prefers that it be used for opinions / stances / thinking and not people? Conversely, to say that someone has certain biases but not that they are biased / unbiased? I can’t come up with a good reason for such a preference but that’s the only thing that occurred to me.
Personally, I like the pronoun Yo

Perhaps if you reference Margaret Troyer's paper as source??
