 > 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.

 True, which is why I disagree with this being a 100% duplicate of #42900,
 because the PR here does not fully address that ticket.
