    On that topic a lot of languages don’t even have gendered pronouns. In Turkish he/she/it is just “o” as example.

    It makes sense too. Imagine how weird it would be to have “heightened pronouns” after how tall you are or “colored pronouns” after your skin color.

    It’s just not necessary.

      On the opposite side you have grammatically gendered languages where even inanimate objects are a she or a he and it’s nearly impossible to escape being called one or the other without nothing beyond the binary.

        In polish, you have three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter) but most people don’t use neuter for people because it sounds wrong and rude

        Also most objects are still masculine or feminine instead of neuter
