> If I'm writing an email or a chat message, I will typically have to use a pronoun.
It's not that hard to just avoid it. I send emails to a lot of people I haven't spoken to and don't know their gender, so I write gender-neutral emails.
Sure, but why would I go out of my way to use gender neutral pronouns like "they" when they can just tell me their preferred pronouns?
