Well yes, because it doesn't work very well to try changing pronouns in countries where tables, chairs and cars are feminine and the world, coffee and tea are masculine.

Gendered nouns are nothing to do with perceived human gender or biological sex.
And yes, many other countries have their own modern equivalent of gender-neutral "they".
By the way, Spain has now had self-ID for 14 months. Have they had the deluge of men pretending to be women purely in order to gain access to women's loos (that they have always had, there and here by the way) purely in order to perv?
Remember, Iain, this is what you claimed would happen.
