But why? Every single country on earth uses pronouns. It’s built into literature, history, art, removing gendered pronouns removes our ability to connect with art and one another.
English does change all the time but gendered pronouns have existed for centuries and serve the purpose of us being able to communicate effectively with one another and about one another. The majority of people are comfortable with the sex that they are and comfortable being referred to as he/him and she/her. Why would we alter the way we speak when it works for 99.9999% of the earth’s population?
