It's just a weird concept in English since plain nouns no longer have gender, so why should pronouns?
No, I'm really not, but I'm not some radical liberal like you guys think. In fact, my wife gets pissed off at me because of it. The other day I mentioned I thought a transgender character on a tv show didn't really pass as transgender. There was nothing at all feminine about the face and voice, it seemed like just a man in drag, not a shemale. I looked up the actor and yeah, it was a man in drag, not a real shemale. She got all pissed off at me, yelled something about not being able to believe she married such a backwards ignorant asshole or something and stomped to the bedroom and locked me out.
