Does your language allow referring to a person while leaving their gender unspecified? If not, your language is deficient. All the mainstream European languages I've seen (Germanic and Romance) don't seem to have this capability at all, and it's a big deficiency. Formal English doesn't have it either, but colloquially we've evolved it, using "they" (which of course is bad because it's supposed to be used for referring to people in the plural sense, not singular). So don't complain about a language having structural problems if yours isn't any better.
