My understanding is that they will show pronouns when it's clear. The system might repeat the last one you used or something like that. So if your entire email is about a woman the feature might suggest "her".
The article seems to say that they are mainly removing the pronoun after titles. E.g. a secretary always being "her" but a CEO always being "him".
According to the Reuters article:
"Gmail product manager Paul Lambert said a company research scientist discovered the problem in January when he typed “I am meeting an investor next week,” and Smart Compose suggested a possible follow-up question: “Do you want to meet him?” instead of “her.”"
The same article claims:
"The gendered pronoun ban affects fewer than 1 percent of cases where Smart Compose would propose something, Lambert said."
So that's really a clickbait article based on a non-issue.
