The introduction of a genderless pronoun is a current topic in Sweden. Let me assure you that the accusations about being overly PC are far more prevalent when using the new gender-neutral pronoun than when simply using the female one.

You'll probably be perceived as either someone who is overly cautious about offending someone, or a gender studies academic or something similar to that. Not that there's anything wrong with the latter, but you can't have words being associated with certain "types" if you want to achieve general colloquial adoption.
