I've long had an idiosyncratic view about pronouns. Gendered pronouns aren't very useful, and we could manage perfectly well in English just using he/him to refer to anyone. Let she/her become archaic. Reserve they/them for plural usage. There are precedents. Words like "actor", previously mostly reserved for males, are becoming non-gendered. I've also heard that Chinese languages don't use gendered pronouns. Probably, the time to implement this was several decades ago.

Of course, I don't use this system myself, because I don't need people to think that I'm even more bonkers than they already think I am. I have memories of when I decided to switch to UTC time instead of my local time zone, it didn't work out well.
