Comment (by bastho):

 I agree, the beauty of fully gendered sentences is very subjective

 '''Neutral language vs Gendered language''' question is larger than just
 user's gender.

 Abstract objects also have a gender (at least in Latin languages), so it
 would be useful for custom post types or custom taxonomies.
 The problem of this point of view is: do all gendered languages use the
 same gender for words?
 ex: is a page "female" in all gendered languages ?

 @swissspidy easiest is not always the best ;) anyway, my grandma used to
 say "better is enemy of well"

 @grapplerulrich l20n's approach seems too much complicated but we can pick
 some parts http://l20n.org/learn/making-translations-depend-on-external-
 variables/
