In the main country of my conworld, the federal lingua franca has gendered pronouns in the first, second, and third persons, and the language is otherwise moderately to heavily gendered with the tendency being that the amount of gender in one’s speech corresponds to formality.
Now on the one hand this can be absolute hell for trans people for obvious reasons, especially for those in the closet.
Then on the other hand, you don’t really get this type of pronoun discourse, or it’s at least not nearly as prevalent, because the moment someone says the equivalent to “me” you can just figure out how thon likes to be referred to. Which tends to be pretty quickly in a conversation since the word for “hello” literally means “I prayed”.
