"In England 'he/his' can be used as a gender neutral term if that person's gender is unknown."

The fact that you simply wrote that does make it sound like you were assuming that English people's usage of the English language is the way everyone over the world speaks and writes it. If you had written "In England 'he/his' can be used as a gender neutral term if that person's gender is unknown, and I'm in English, so that's how I'm used to writing/type.", I would have understood you right away.
