As an English as second language speaker, they/them is actually brilliant. I remember in school misgendering people counted for half the negative marks. Thinking of gender just broke my thought flow and I believe it was similar for my class mates who made similar mistakes. If you ask brain to concentrate on details, language becomes harder. English is already a very weird language, they/them actually brings in consistency.
And this is coming from someone who's mother tongue actually has more gendering than english.
