Of course, the vision of the future you present is probably one few actually desire, but it's interesting to think about why we humans feel such a need to emphasise people's gender all the time. As another poster put it, what if personal pronouns included a reference to race (or age, religion, weight, sexual orientation, etc.) - would we really be comfortable with that? Yet we find gender such an important thing when referring to others.
