@DaveG the answer is right there in the comment you replied to: "Then pronouns are no longer associated with gender"
i.e. it eliminates the problems of mistaking someone's gender
which, even if you believe everyone is assigned a gender at birth by a deity, would save a lot of hassle with having to guess when you meet / hear of someone
@IMSoP I'm pretty sure my sex was determined by my biology, no need to invoke Zeus, Jahweh, Christ, or anyone else. In any event the last time I was mistaken for a woman, no pronouns were involved so it's not clear that eliminating pronouns would solve anything. I'm happy to address anyone by their desired pronouns, but going all Newspeak is not something I'm planning on doing.
