This is a better way to word the point I was trying to make. Gender is just another detail in the sentence. If more details are needed, like the gender of the subject, they can be called out specifically like every other detail, like shoe color.

I agree that gendered pronouns can be somewhat useful, but definitely not "very" useful. I can't even contrive a situation where it would be very useful
