Yeah we need a dedicated genderless singular third-person pronoun.

The only thing that comes to mind is "it" but that tends to dehumanize people.

I wish we could just manually change english. Forget all gendered pronouns because they shouldn't even need to specify. Just animate/inanimate singular/plural.
