You say that like it's a bad thing. Getting rid of gendered language would eliminate so many misunderstandings and bigotries (both accidental and intentional) that it seems like the obvious choice, especially when you consider that future generations will be raised with it sounding natural. But I don't think it's going to happen.

> Getting rid of gendered language would eliminate so many misunderstandings and bigotries That's only one of so many dimensions. Take it a step further and get rid of all racial and ethnic language. And ageist language. And ableist. Socio-economic, religious, political. Anything that separates us.
