With Chinese the situation is well that in spoken language, the pronouns aren’t gendered, but in written language, they are. This was as a European influence, I believe.

All of these are third-person pronouns read as “tā” in Standard Chinese:

• 他 - masculine, originally/occasionally gender-neutral human; human radical
• 她 - feminine; woman radical
• 牠 - animate non-human, Traditional usage; cow radical
• 它 - inanimate; animate non-human in Simplified usage; historically general
• 祂 - divine, primarily Abrahamic usage; spirit radical
• TA - gender-neutral, also used in other letter case forms
• X也 - gender-neutral, handwritten form has no Unicode support

In Finnish there are hän (he/she) and se (it). In spoken Finnish people often use only se-pronoun even when talking about people.

Gender is just a grammar thing anyways.

I have no problem with ditching the grammar rule as a synonym for sex.

So from now on men and women should really only refer to sex, and that’s fine. People don’t have genders anyways, words do.

@WtfEvenIsExistence In Romanian we use “coaie”. It’s the most gender inclusive pronoun ❤ ❤
