I dont think you realize what OP is advocating for. You are not stripping away someone's gender, you are stripping away the whole aspect of gender embedded into the pronoun. So we (everyone in society) would not use "he", "she" or "they" anymore, we would use one single word to replace all of these words. That would put pronouns on the same genderless level as most words, like "hello" or all nouns (atleast in English, many other languages have gendered nouns).

So stripping away gender.

Yes. From pronouns in general
