@ilookloud spookily I had just been reading through that and the whole, (lengthy!) Wikipedia article.
Yes indeed a very complicated subject and I suppose understandably so. Fascinating to learn that some languages (like Bangla / Bengali) are without noun/pronoun gender at all. Hence "I saw her" and "I saw him" are both "আমি তাকে দেখেছি". This may be a great piece of information to mention the next time I encounter the red necked 'outraged' folk with regard to others preferring 'different' pronouns! 😁
