⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Repurposing existing pronouns is the problem. Other languages have nice, gender neutral pronouns. We just need a nice new, singular gender neutral pronoun.

Example…

He/she/fai Him/her/hai

Then make it standard to use the neutral version where gender doesn’t matter. Telling a story about your teacher? Is it pertinent we need to know the gender? No? Then standardize on the neutral version.

English has always been one of the most fluid languages. Why stop now? Just fix it.
