If you don't want to bother with individualized pronoun choices, just don't. It's that simple. But if your problem is you don't want them to exist in the world, well that's a lot more complicated.

What is the first word and which is the constitution?
"We the people..."
Ah the USA constitution. In the german one, its an article as the first word, excluding numbers and symbols. "DIE Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar." But technically germany has no constitution but only a basic law
Yeah sorry, this meme struck me as very steeped in current American politics (not sure if this same nonsense is happening elsewhere) so I didn't think about other constitutions.
Of course the German "constitution" starts off telling you to die /s
Well, it's the only thing people will reliably do. Each and every last of us.
Happy weekend, I guess.
you keep talking like that and soon it will be your state constitution.
All down to bigotry of course. For fun, try earnestly writing in absence of pronouns. Perhaps a bit more challenging than expected!
Guns?
Coming soon to a Truth Social post near you:
"He the people..."
I the king ?
Elon I, the Musk.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Babe wake up, new pronouns just dropped

Never realized that the first sentence was so long
Read Moby dick it has sentences as long as half a page with 5-8 commas, 3-4 semi colons, and few real colons.
A roman senator is running late to an important senate meeting. He arrives 15 minutes late and enters to see each seat filled, with the exception of his own, and Cicero standing in the middle of the room giving a speech.
He manages to stealthily make his way to his seat without causing too much of a commotion and leans over to the senator next to him, asking in a hushed tone, "Hey, what's Cicero talking about?"
The other senator simply shrugs and whispers back, "I don't know, he hasn't gotten to the verb yet"
