    I honest to god think this is a defect of the English language. There should be a singular gender neutral pronoun.

        That’s true. It does feel a little strange to have to refer to someone’s gender any time you want to refer to them in a sentence. Although conversely for both cis and trans folk alike it’s gender affirming for them. It just comes down to language though. It probably seems 100% fine to have genderless pronouns in languages that don’t have them.
