> Supporting gender-based translations is not possible if pronouns is a
freeform field.
Pronouns and grammatical gender are two different things.
Languages have a fixed set of grammatical genders, usually masculine,
feminine, and neutral. A user who uses a gender-neutral pronoun such as
"they/them" may still wish to select their preferred grammatical gender
(eg. feminine) if the language they use doesn't support genuinely gender-
neutral grammar.
