My native language does not have gendered pronouns. It makes the language simpler and more efficient.
This is the way all language should be. Gendered words of any kind serve absolutely no purpose
It also makes you realize that all this pronoun craziness is silly and unimportant. There are much more important things demanding our attention. Pronoun battles are a first world problem.
I say nearly this same thing, which is probably similar to what every generation says about the next one. Wait until they "grow up" and find out what real problems are. Your pronoun won't mean much if you lose your job and have to figure out how to pay the mortgage and for groceries before your kids starve.
