There shouldn't be any gendered pronouns at all. Many languages do just fine without them.

That's true. It does feel a little strange to have to refer to someone's gender any time you want to refer to them in a sentence. Although conversely for both cis and trans folk alike it's gender affirming for them. It just comes down to language though. It probably seems 100% fine to have genderless pronouns in languages that don't have them.
